Today, Margo Price releases new single "Too Stoned To Cry," featuring vocals and guitar from her friend Billy Strings. Following the resounding reception of 2023's Strays – the hard-rocking, shroom-steeped opus hailed as her "strongest solo work yet" (The New Yorker) – "Too Stoned To Cry" finds Price squarely in the saddle of the plainspoken, poignant and empowering style of music that first cemented her place as a generational storyteller. Written by Andrew Combs, and produced by Beau Bedford, the song exemplifies why country has been a comfort for Price in her darkest days, and signals much more to come as she prepares for new music in 2025. 

Listen to "Too Stoned To Cry" (feat. Billy Strings) via Loma Vista Recordings, and watch the lyric video: HERE

"It was such a joy to work with Billy on this song. He really nailed the vocals and laid down a beautiful lead. I have wanted to record this song for years now, ever since I heard the writer Andrew Combs sing it. My buddy Beau Bedford and I had been in the studio together working on an Orville Peck track, and I asked him to produce this single for me. He put together a really great band – Beau and I, plus my husband Jeremy Ivey played acoustic, Aksel Coe on drums, Misa Arriaga on Bass, Russ Pahl on pedal steel, Joey McClellan on electric. Once we got Billy to add his guitar and singing, I knew this song was gonna be a special recording."

-Margo Price

"Too Stoned To Cry" foresees the start of a fresh chapter for Margo Price, a restless spirit in the midst of a year full of change. From her new sound and bandmates, to both her look and outlook, she has written extensively and unabashedly in her publication Rawdoggin' Reality, about the state of herself, her career and the world around her, the rabbit holes she has gone down and the regrets she lacks. Price reflects: 

"When I first came on the scene, I was a countryfied, hard headed, whiskey drinkin nobody who was pissed off at the establishment. All of that's still true, except for the whiskey drinkin part. If anything, now that I've lived for a while inside of the establishment, I'm even more pissed off. I've let some people go, I'm still fighting with others to let me be myself, but I know, I'm gonna make this next record the way I want to make it, no matter what it takes."

This month, Margo Price will appear at AmericanaFest and Farm Aid, where she serves alongside Dave Matthews, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Willie Nelson as the first female artist on its board of directors. She will also perform at upcoming celebrations for Robbie Robertson and Mavis Staples, and in recent weeks shared a new collaboration with Orville Peck called "You're an Asshole, I Can't Stand You (and I Want a Divorce),"an original T Bone Burnett-produced song and Elvis Costello cover for Netflix film Downtown Owl ("Shelter Me" and "Pump It Up"), and a rendition of "Ways To Be Wicked" (feat. Mike Campbell) for Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty

On the heels of StraysStrays II and her 2023 memoir, Maybe We'll Make It, Margo Price appeared on Austin City Limits, CBS Mornings, The Daily Show, Howard Stern, The Late Late Show and far beyond, in addition to the Americana Awards, GRAMMY Museum and Libera Awards, the magazine covers of BUST, Paste, Pollstar, Relix, The Nashvillian and more. She shared stages with Chris Stapleton, Dr. Jill Biden, Jason Isbell, Sharon Van Etten, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Willie Nelson and numerous others, all while staying "unstoppable, unsinkable, uninhibited" (The New York Times).
