    This new album shows the continued growth and evolution of a badass American artist. Margo Price first caught my attention with her honest lyrics and throw back-ish sound on her first album, and on her 2nd album showed how brave and vulnerable she could be. On "That's How Rumors Get Started", Margo comes out like, "yeah, this is me, take it or leave it". And if you take it, I promise you,This new album shows the continued growth and evolution of a badass American artist.

    Storytelling and suffering remain at the heart of this rich, gauzy and lush record, which, like Gaslighter, expands the borders of country while strengthening its core tenets.

    The 10 songs on this lovely and mostly subdued collection deal tend toward the most universal singer-songwriter themes: being glad your ex is an ex; wondering how to keep your current partner from becoming an ex; pondering whether love might survive the grave… and, of course, The Road.

    Rumors buffs away some of the rougher edges that made her so much more compelling than so many of Nashville’s aspiring singer-songwriters. Those albums made the fight sound worthwhile, but there’s too little fight in these songs.
