Margo Price has shared the opening track from her debut LP Midwest Farmer's Daughter (out March 25th) as an instant-grat download on iTunes and Amazon, and as a single on Spotify. "Hands of Time" is a bleeding country anthem that doubles as album centerpiece and biographical mission statement. Stream it below:
Midwest Farmer's Daughter was recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, with Price pawning her wedding ring and selling her car to pay for the sessions. Next week she'll perform at NPR Music's SXSW showcase, billed next to Vince Staples and Anderson Paak, along with 5 other performances throughout the weekend. See her full schedule below:
In addition, yesterday morning the New York Times ran a massive '25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going' package, including Price's "Hurtin' (On The Bottle)" alongside song by everyone from Rihanna, Coldplay, Run the Jewels, Kendrick + more. Read the incredibly compelling feature here.
"Hands of Time" is available digitally worldwide now. Pre-order Midwest Farmer's Daughter now on iTunes and get three additional album tracks: http://smarturl.it/MFDiTunes

Fine Sounds Margo… Very fine!
Ps… Dyslexia is really a game changer
Pseudo Video… Genre all its own for those clickbait magestrates and streamline inspirationals… Thanks for sharing your fine with us Margo!
“I wanna turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time” …the best lyric hook I’ve heard in a loooong time! Margo has written a beautiful ballad in the tried n’ true country style, with a voice to match. A classic.
Looking forward to seeing her at Willie’s Luck Reunion!
