Margo Price Surprise Releases Protest Album Days of Unrest The surprise release of Margo Price's protest album, Days of Unrest, is not just a timely gesture; it's also a testament to the enduring power of folk music as a tool for social commentary.
By covering Woody Guthrie classics like "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" alongside more contemporary targets like Charlie Daniels' "Long Haired Country Girl," Price signals that, even in this era of divisive politics, there's still room for nuance and critique.
Price draws on her influences to create a narrative thread that weaves through the decades.
