Margo Price released her new single “Too Stoned To Cry,” featuring vocals and guitar from her friend Billy String.
Says Price: “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.”
“Too Stoned To Cry” features a new sound and new bandmates from Price, and she shared: “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, and 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.”
