Nashville-based singer-songwriter Margo Price has a lot going on these days. She just released a new single and video, Been To The Mountain, where she takes both a hard look at the past and a firm step into the future. Price has been one of my favorite Nashville singers, with my top song from her repertoire being Hands of Time, a sonic memory palace of family.
In addition to her music, Price has also announced her own Sonos Radio podcast, Runaway Horses. The podcast will begin with an inspiring interview from musical great, Emmylou Harris.
All six of the episodes in this first season are about the search for freedom through music and the shared human experience, featuring influences, heroes and contemporaries like Amythyst Kiah, Swamp Dogg, Bob Weir, Bettye LaVette and Lucius.
New installments of Runaway Horses will be released weekly for the next five Thursdays, and are available on Sonos Radio in the Sonos app, the Sonos Radio website and all major podcast platforms.

On the launch of Runaway Horses, which evolved out of an internet radio program she started live-streaming in the earliest days of the COVID-19 lockdown, Margo Price says, "The thing about runaway horses is that you can really never truly break them. They are incredibly unpredictable. You never know what they're going to do next. I'm calling this show 'Runaway Horses' because wild freedom is exactly what I crave from music — I just want a complete and total release. I hope that the conversations on this show help you feel a sense of freedom, too."
In the coming months, Margo Price will continue a busy year of touring with performances at Sacred Rose, Born and Raised and other festival appearances, plus Red Rocks with Wilco, and Farm Aid, where she recently became the first-ever female artist elected to the Board of Directors. She will also embark on a national book tour throughout October and November, in support of her forthcoming, debut memoir, Maybe We'll Make It. Out October 4th on University of Texas Press, the book tells a story of loyalty, loss, grief and forgiveness, from moving to Nashville with $57, to losing one of her newborn twin boys, pawning her wedding ring and facing rejection by almost every record label in town, to eventually reclaiming her power, freeing herself from substance abuse, and fighting for the opportunity to be herself in the music business.
"Margo's book hits you right in the gut - and the heart - just like her songs," says Willie Nelson.
