Well that’s it from us for another week dear reader. We’re putting our feet in a bucket of warm water while we enjoy a Mexican Martini just to get over the exhaustion of finishing series two of “Sherwood”. Yikes. We leave you with a a brand new song from Margo Price who is back with her new single ‘Too Stoned To Cry’ featuring vocals and guitar from her friend Billy Strings. The new single finds Margo squarely in the saddle of the plainspoken, poignant and empowering style of music that first cemented her place as a generational storyteller. Written by Andrew Combs, and produced by Beau Bedford, the song exemplifies why country has been a comfort for Price in her darkest days, and signals more to come as she prepares for new music in 2025.
Price commented: “It was such a joy to work with Billy on this song. He really nailed the vocals and laid down a beautiful lead,” Margo said of the track. “I have wanted to record this song for years now, ever since I heard the writer Andrew Combs sing it. My buddy Beau Bedford and I had been in the studio together working on an Orville Peck track, and I asked him to produce this single for me. He put together a really great band – Beau and I, plus my husband Jeremy Ivey played acoustic, Aksel Coe on drums, Misa Arriaga on Bass, Russ Pahl on pedal steel, Joey McClellan on electric. Once we got Billy to add his guitar and singing, I knew this song was gonna be a special recording.”
Look out for our coverage of the new album next year here on AUK. In the meantime, as always, please support your local Palestine events if you can this weekend, they are hoping people will tire of it but the fight goes on. Take care.
Thanks, a very nice cover. And 🇵🇸♥️👍🏻
