An October 2022 IndieNext pick "[An] engaging and beautifully
narrated quest for personal fulfillment and musical
recognition...This is a fast-paced tale in which music and love
always take center stage...A truly gifted musician, Price writes
about her journey with refreshing candor."-Kirkus, starred review
"Brutally honest...a vivid and poignant memoir."-The Guardian
Country music star Margo Price shares the story of her struggle to
make it in an industry that preys on its ingenues while trying to
move on from devastating personal tragedies. 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.
