Margo Price has announced the upcoming release of her new album, Hard Headed Woman, on August 29th via Loma Vista Recordings.

Produced by longtime collaborator Matt Ross-Spang, the 12-track LP features duets with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, as well as songs co-written with Rodney Crowell, Jeremy Ivey, and the late Kris Kristofferson. It is Price’s first album recorded in Nashville, a city she’s called home for more than two decades, at the historic RCA Studio A.

The first single, “Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down”, out now with an accompanying video, serves as the album’s rallying cry. Co-written with Kristofferson, Crowell, and Ivey, the track’s title comes from a line in The Handmaid’s Tale and the advice Kristofferson gave Sinéad O’Connor after she was booed at Bob Dylan’s 30th anniversary concert.

“I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did, which is speak up for the common man and woman. But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years, when I am only coming from a place of love. So I made the decision to rebuild everything from the ground up,” said Price. “I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves, in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.”

Backed by a brand new live band and armed with her newly launched signature Gibson J-45, Price will hit the road in support of Hard Headed Woman for a string of U.S. and international tour dates, including appearances at Newport Folk Festival, Farm Aid, and shows with Mumford & Sons and Greensky Bluegrass. The tour kicks off June 11th with a special show at Ray’s Bar in NYC, presented by Honky Tonkin’ in Queens. Click below for a full list of tour dates and head here for tickets.
