Margo Price has joined forces with Jesse Welles to release new single“Don’t Wake Me Up.” Evoking the essence of Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” – and paying direct homage with the Hannah Gray Hall-directed music video – the latest preview of Margo’s forthcoming album, Hard Headed Woman, is a freewheeling country rocker that chugs through hundreds of masterfully-spun words, as it takes the listener on a trip to dozens of places that are all better than here. “The way the world is going, ain’t where I’m at,” howl Price and Welles in unison, willing themselves to dream away the politician screaming on the television, or the madness seeping through the internet. “And sooner or later we’ll all be dead, I’d rather be living it up, up in my head.”
In between uncanny, siren-esque rituals of line-dancing in the woods, the accompanying video for “Don’t Wake Me Up” finds Margo Price in a field, dive bar, cow pasture, cemetery, honky tonk, factory, liquor store, bowling alley, trailer park, Waffle House, Midwest strip mall and more of the locations sung throughout the song.
This October and November, backed by a brand new live band and armed with her newly-launched, signature Gibson J-45 guitar, Margo Price will bring the music of Hard Headed Woman on the road for the Wild At Heart Tour. Announced today, the run features nearly two dozen headline dates throughout North America, including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and more that go on-sale at 10am local time this Friday, July 18th, with presales beginning at 10am local time tomorrow. Before then, Margo Price will also play Newport Folk Festival, dates with Mumford & Sons, Farm Aid and other festivals across the country.
