Margo Price Performs Live At Grand Ole Opry

Margo Price performed live at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Price’s appearance Saturday on the long-running, weekly radio program featured a pair of songs from her new album, That’s How Rumors Get Started, and a Henson Cargill cover.

Price began with “Prisoner Of The Highway,” one of the tracks she recorded with co-producer Sturgill Simpson for That’s How Rumors Get Started, which came out last Friday. Backed by the Opry Band, Price then performed Cargill’s “Skip A Rope.” Price preceded the cover by pushing for an end to racism, telling parents to “teach your children well” and that if racism is still around in 30 years its the parents’ fault.

Price also commended the Grand Ole Opry for stating Black Lives Matter and challenged the Opry to have on Anita White, the vocalist known as Lady A. White was recently sued by Lady Antebellum after the band sought to change their name to Lady A as well.

“Lady Antebellum has had a platform here,” Price said. “I think it would be really wonderful if you all invited Anita White — the real Lady A — here to come and sing. Country music owes such a great deal of what we have to Black artists and Black music and there is just no place for racism and sexism in this music.”

For her final song, Price selected the That’s How Rumors Get Started closing track, “I’d Die For You.” Watch Margo Price’s Grand Ole Opry performance starting at ~30:00 in the video below:
