Maybe We'll Make It
Audiobook exclusive: original and never-before-released music from the author, Margo Price. When Margo Price was nineteen years old, she dropped out of college and moved to Nashville to become a musician. She busked on the street, played open mics, and even threw out her TV so that she would do nothing but write songs. She met Jeremy Ivey, a fellow musician who would become her closest collaborator and her husband. But after working on their craft for more than a decade, Price and Ivey had no label, no band, and plenty of heartache. Maybe We'll Make It is a memoir of loss, motherhood, and the search for artistic freedom in the midst of the agony experienced by so many aspiring musicians: bad gigs and long tours, rejection and sexual harassment, too much drinking, and barely enough money to live on. Price, though, refused to break and turned her lowest moments into the classic country songs that eventually comprised the debut album that launched her career. In the authentic voice hailed by Pitchfork for tackling "Steinbeck-sized issues with no-bullshit humility," Price shares the stories that became songs and the small acts of love and camaraderie it takes to survive in a music industry that is often unkind to women. Now a Grammy-nominated “Best New Artist,” Price tells a love story of music, collaboration, and the struggle to build a career while trying to maintain her singular voice and style.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2022 - AudioFile

Singer-songwriter Margo Price writes lyrics with the soul of a poet, and this gift carries over to her prose. Sentences like “It’s not that the house was large inside, but the love in it was” and “Sometimes the wind would bring stories from distant places” appear frequently. Price’s clear voice makes her narration easy on the ears, and her pacing is good. Since this is an autobiography, she shows emotion frequently. For example, her anguish at the death of her dog is palpable. And you can almost see her smile as she recounts humorous stories from musical tours. Happily, snippets of her music add dimension to the work that one can’t get from the printed page. R.C.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
