Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
2016 - you’re reminded of the incredible power that lies in tradition well-used. It’s a power the rest of this record makes plain.
-
Pitchfork
2016 - Daughter is best when it's specifically first-person, when Price bends country to fit her own story rather than bend herself to fit the form. You root hard for Price to win these battles, even as you may find yourself wishing Midwest Farmer's Daughter could transcend the hype.
-
NPR
2016 - Price proves she can muster a no-nonsense vocal attack like some of her idols, but she also sings with fantastic elasticity and self-awareness. What she's putting out there is powerful and rings true.

-
Paste Magazine

Pop Matters

Irish Times
2017 - The US country singer’s story reads like a tragic country song, but a deal with Jack White’s Third Man Records and an acclaimed debut album has opened up a new chapter
-
Glide Magazine
2016 - She’s so authentic ... Her lyrics can be heart wrenching and her voice seems to pull everything out of her from a place deep and dark.
-
Drowned in Sound
2016 - It’s vintage, blue collar, country storytelling - raw, unruly, tragic tales, delivered with a crooked wink and a chancer’s charm.
-
Entertainment Focus
2016 - Her embracing of tradition, while giving her songs a modern spin lyrically, makes her an interesting proposition and with Midwest Farmer’s Daughter she’s definitely delivered one of the finest Country albums so far in 2016.

-
Paul Rigby (The Audiophile Man)
2016 - For the audiophiles amongst you? You’ll be delighted. Third Man has done an excellent mastering job on this album. It is both clear and transparent with a sense of quietude behind the music that allows a whole heap of music to come forth.
-
Unsung Sundays
2016 - Once in a while, it feels like Margo Price’s music is quintessential country too — and it’s almost undoubtedly the year’s best country record yet.

Wannabe
"There's something in Margo's voice that instantly touches your soul. Her pain becomes yours as her stories and yours seemingly intertwine; broken hearts soothed by late nights cuddled up with a glass of whiskey."

Elle

The Austin Chronicle
2016 - Price attacks the superficiality of Music Row and extends a gleeful middle finger to an ex-lover, all to the tune of honky-tonk rhythms, weeping fiddles, and barroom lap steel guitar.
-
The Politician
2016 - t doesn’t really matter how ‘authentic’ Margo Price’s life story really is; an enthralling fictive storyteller is infinitely more entertaining than a mediocre memoirist
