I've been a fan of Margo since her debut album exploded back in 2016 and when I heard about the announcement of her debut memoir last year, I immediately knew I had to read it soon. This is a vivid origin story about her long-winding attempts to make a successful career in music. Already being aware of her hard working grit and rebellious attitude through her traditional songwriting, you get a clear picture of that through her adventures of touring, recording, living in Nashville, and the many challenges she's faced with, resulting in just barely getting by. It's a great read for anyone who is a fan of Margo Price of course but to those who are interested in reading about the struggles, joys, and hardships a folk/rock/country musician will typically go through to be able to possibly make it in the music industry of today. My only complaint is that the middle gets a bit repetitive (moving to a new place, playing shows, writing songs, drinking and doing drugs, repeat) but this is expected considering the repetitious life of a traveling musician and it's not a huge negative in the slightest. If you haven't already listened to Price, all of her albums are stellar including her brand new album “Strays,” which everyone should check out. My personal favorite is “All American Made,” which is one of the past decade's best albums in my opinion.
