​Margo Price (from the album Good Life available on That’s How Rumors Get Started available on Loma Vista Recordings) (by Bryant Liggett)
She’s a founding member of 21st Century Country musicians credited with ‘saving’ country music. Margo Price sits among Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers, songwriters and musicians whose brand of Country music has nothing to do with contemporaries seen on CMT, and everything to do with Grand Ol’ Opry performers of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Margo Price is also an ace at throwing a curveball, one that might blow past some fans afraid to swing at the pitch as she defines Country music on her own terms. That’s How Rumors Get Started is her latest, a cool dose of Roots music loaded with grace, groove and grit.
Margo Price sings ‘word travels faster than a whisper in the wind on the title track opening cut, a piano ballad that is quiet and quaint with nary a whiff of twang. She blasts into “Twinkle Twinkle”, an autobiographical story where Margo quips ‘if it don’t break you, it may just make you rich, you might not get there, and on the way it’s a bitch’. It’s a Country Funk tune delivered with a scuzzy riff. Backing vocals and church organ support the gospel-leaning “Hey Child” while “Heartless Mind’ is a time travel track going back to the 1980’s, a New Wave prime for a John Hughes movie. The closest Margo Price comes to traditional Country is “Prisoner of the Highway”, a road tale where you can taste the asphalt under the tires and the need to be gone, starring by Margo Price in not the greatest scenario. That’s How Rumors Get Started is Margo Price spreading her wings. Less Country, more Blues, R&B and Pop, she is clearly comfortable going in whichever direction she pleases.
