Episode 31 - Margo Price

What this episode covers

We put a hurtin' on the podcast! This week we shine a special spotlight on one of the most acclaimed Third Man Records recording artists that isn't Jack White himself, Miss Margo Price! Margo entered the Jack White orbit in 2016 when her debut solo album, Midwest Farmer's Daughter, was released by Third Man, and since then the accolades have been rolling in. But it was a long road to success, filled with the kinds of heartache and tragedy that would become unforgettable songwriting fodder for the young singer/songwriter. Turned down by nearly every record label in town, Margo bet the farm on Jack White and it has been paying off in spades ever since. Margo's musical influences pull from a wide pool of artists including the likes of Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, The Kinks and Janis Joplin, giving her sound a highly accessible blend of rock, pop and country. This week we cover it all, plus Third Woman Kate McCoy joins us once again to offer insight as to how Nashville views their new famous "daughter", and to share her story of seeing Margo's former band, Buffalo Clover, live! And hey, if you want to know how this episode will sound, I bet you're about to find out!<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
