Watch Margo Price Sing From A Balcony At NPR Music's 10th Anniversary Concert
Standing on a balcony at the 9:30 Club, Margo Price sang songs from her first two albums.
Margo Price sings classic country songs that manage to enchant, even as they disillusion. Her steadfast voice and songwriting conjure a powerful sense of nostalgia — she, an album that didn't so much callback to '70s country as it did flawlessly reanimate it. But if her musical signifiers are comfortably familiar, her lyrics stand in stark opposition to that feeling. They don't live in a soft-focus past, but are eyes-wide-open to modern America — from songs like "Pay Gap" to "All American Made," Margo Price brings a fresh urgency to a well-worn form.
