Margo Price: 我在纳什维尔学校枪击案后演唱了鲍勃·迪伦的《泪之怒》，这首歌表达了我的悲伤和对受害者的同情。我是一个枪支拥有者，从小就接触枪支，但我认为在枪支管制方面需要改变。政治人物的作为和NRA的影响令人担忧。 我的新专辑《Strays》中的一些歌曲是在服用裸盖菇素后创作的，这种体验帮助我创作出具有神秘感的歌曲，也让我戒除了酗酒的习惯。酒精会损害大脑前额叶皮质，而裸盖菇素则不同。戒酒后我感觉好多了，这像是人生的第二次机会。 我的自传《Maybe We’ll Make It》记录了我多年来在乡村音乐界的奋斗历程。完成自传后，我一度感到焦虑和自我怀疑，但最终我学会了自我同情，并接受了自己的不足。 Emily Nussbaum: 纳什维尔音乐界存在一种禁忌，即艺术家避免公开谈论政治，尤其是在枪支管制问题上。Margo Price 的歌曲《Radio》表达了她对唱片公司的不满，这首歌也反映了她对互联网和外界干扰的感受。她认为纳什维尔对歌曲合作创作的重视程度过高，这可能会影响歌曲的质量。她对《Strays》专辑中歌曲《Been to the Mountain》的创作过程和歌曲的象征意义进行了详细的阐述。

Shownotes Transcript

Margo Price moved to Nashville from rural Illinois at the age of nineteen. After struggling for years to break through in the country-music scene, she found success with her 2016 release “Midwest Farmer’s Daughter,” widely considered one of the best albums of the year. Since then, she’s established herself as one of music’s new stars, an artist in the outlaw-country lineage—and a free spirit not afraid to speak frankly. Price talks with the staff writer Emily Nussbaum), who is well known as a television critic and is also a fan of country music, about her fourth studio album, “Strays.” It was released earlier this year, around the same time as her memoir, “Maybe We’ll Make It,” which discusses her years of struggle before establishing herself as an artist. They also discussed Price’s drug use—she speaks proudly of using psilocybin and her stance in favor of gun control in the wake of a school shooting in Nashville.
