Margo Price Reveals ‘Days Of Unrest’ Mixtape & Shares ‘Deportee’ Cover Featuring Joan Baez

Margo Price detailed a new mixtape, Days Of Unrest, which will be released this Friday, July 3. Price shared a cover of Woody Guthrie’s poignant “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos),” featuring Joan Baez.

“Deportee” has been part of many of Price’s recent live setlists. The track also features contributions from Memphis Mariachi, who also appear on the traditional “De Colores,” which Price has also played live in concert of late.

Also pulling from her current live songlist, Days Of Unrest includes covers of Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm” and Blaze Foley’s “Oval Room” among its nine tracks. Veteran singer-songwriter Billy Swan joins Price on a recording of “Long Haired Country Girl” by Charlie Daniels.

Price previewed Days Of Unrest by putting out single versions of “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)” and “Oval Room.” Price shared this note regarding the pending release:

“It seems like so many of us have forgotten the message on the [S]tatue of [L]iberty that says, ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.’ America is a country built by immigrants and our freedom is precious.

“I hope these songs may open blind eyes to the cruelty that is happening in our country right now and find compassion in your heart. And in the words of the great John Prine, ‘I really love America. I just don’t know how to get there anymore.’”
