Watch Margo Price Bring "Tennessee Song" to Galaxy Barn

The latest in the Galaxy Barn Series features Third Man Records' country star in haunting form.

Margo Price's solo debut album, Midwest Farmer's Daughter, was the first country record to come out on Jack White's Third Man Records, which makes sense. Price, a 34-year-old country singer-songwriter with an effortless, classical twang, grew up in small-town Illinois and dropped out of college to move to East Nashville in 2003. It was there that she formed Buffalo Clover, a rock 'n' roll band with a country edge, and eventually Margo and the Pricetags, a more country-centric project that featured Sturgill Simpson in its rotating lineup. Midwest Farmer's Daughter is unquestionably a country record, but that roots rock edge never faded.

Her performance of album cut "Tennessee Song" at last year's Pickathon Festival in Oregon, the latest episode in the Galaxy Barn Series, is further proof. Price's voice is haunting when the song stretches out, flawless when it picks up. A slide guitar winds in the background, but it builds to a straightforward electric solo before giving way to Price's clear vocals above the band. Check it out above.
