Oct 18, 2017All American Made is provocative, charismatic and endearing, proving what many of country's all-time greats already seem to know: Margo Price is a legend in the making.
-
Oct 20, 2017It’s the title track--a soft and heart-wrenching protest song that captures the struggle of living in the U.S.--that cements Price’s songwriting bona fides as a fiercely important voice in modern country.
-
Oct 18, 2017With a little more time and money to burn, Price and co. spiced up the nervy and raw sound of Midwest with the addition of a string section on some tunes, some gospel-like backing vocals when needed, and a little ProTools augmentation to create the collage of presidential speeches that floats in and around the title track. Otherwise, she and the band stick comfortably to their chosen lane.
-
Dec 13, 2017Though she's only on her second album, Price sings with the confidence of a seasoned veteran.
-
Q MagazineOct 24, 2017Her second album's pithy songs of turmoil, imperfect love and drinking bring the weight of personal life experience. [Dec 2017, p.110]
-
Oct 23, 2017All of this is delivered with upbeat charm and wry humour; pedal steel solos don’t so much sweeten these pills as dunk them in a vat of serotonin.
-
Oct 19, 2017Willie Nelson duets on Learning to Lose, and the highest praise for Price is that he sounds very much like the second most talented person on another beguiling album.
-
Oct 19, 2017Despite some deservedly hard edges, it's this vision of an open-hearted, open-bordered U.S.A. that gives All American Made its lasting power.
-
Oct 19, 2017By adding a decent dose of 2017 into her classic sound, Price creates something truly great.
-
Oct 18, 2017All American Made marks both a hardening and a deepening of Price's sound. [Nov 2017, p.25]
-
MojoOct 18, 2017All American Made maintains Price's status as honky-tonk's most compelling new flame. [Nov 2017, p.97]
-
Oct 30, 2017The structure of All American Made works in a strange way, grouping like-minded songs together and moving at a galloping, constantly shifting pace. It hits its peaks at the beginning and end.
-
Oct 23, 2017Like Nelson's best Seventies work, Price's latest is both reverent and revolutionary, a traditional-minded statement that nevertheless blazes an urgent path forward.
-
Oct 24, 2017These songs are littered with allusions to Price's difficult past as a broke, troubled magnet of misfortune with a late-blooming career, but they're by and large so vague that they don't have much of an emotional impact.
