Born in Illinois, Price has worked in Nashville for the past decade becoming a staple of many of the clubs there. Now, with her debut album she shows off her mastery of the genre by maintaining many staples of her domain while still exploring new areas. Price steps up the quality of writing normally expected from a country singer.<\/p>\n<p>Country has always been the genre of the outcast, with songs about failed relationships, problems that can only be solved with alcohol (which then creates more problems), and just being a loser in general. These staples are readily evident in Price\u2019s songs just by looking at some of the titles: \u201cSince You Put Me Down,\u201d \u201cHurtin\u2019 (On The Bottle),\u201d and \u201cWorld\u2019s Greatest Loser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Price is able to truly set herself apart with her songwriting though. Particularly, \u201cHurtin\u2019 (On The Bottle)\u201d which touches on many of the themes previously mentioned but also makes use of opposites to draw out the pain that comes from having unrealistic expectations. \u201cBeen riding high on low expectations \/ It\u2019s like singing loud with no one left to hear \/ I\u2019ve been drinking from the well of inspiration \/ But it\u2019s all falling on these wasted ears \/ Been drinking water like it\u2019s whiskey \/ but that don\u2019t touch the pain you put on me.\u201d While the main idea may be a little played out, Price\u2019s lyrical ability adds to the overall quality of the track; something she accomplishes on many of the songs here that make Midwest Farmer\u2019s Daughter well worth the time.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Patsy Cline, Joan Shelley, Jessica Lea Mayfield<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 1 (Hands of Time), 9 (Hurtin&#8217; (On the Bottle)), 10 (World&#8217;s Greatest Loser)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Zach Hill on 04\/04\/16 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you listen to one country album this year, it should be this debut album from Margo Price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12267,"featured_media":44088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[4759,4760,18,11,4255],"class_list":["post-44087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-margo-price","tag-midwest-farmers-daughter","tag-music","tag-new-music-rotation","tag-zach-hill"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/margoprice_MFD.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12267"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
