Margo Price has a memoir on the way. It’s titled Maybe We’ll Make It, and it covers her early career as a singer-songwriter. It’s out October 4 via the University of Texas Press as part of the American Music series, which is co-edited by journalist and former Pitchfork editor Jessica Hopper along with Charles Hughes.
Price shared a statement about the project, which is her first book:
I’m so excited to share with y’all that for the past five years, I’ve been working on writing a book. It has truly been a labor of love and I’m so thrilled that it will finally be released by the University of Texas Press. Maybe We’ll Make It takes place over the better part of a decade when I was struggling to make a career as a songwriter and an artist. It’s a love story about loyalty, loss, grief and forgiveness. It’s about finding freedom from substance abuse and addiction and fighting for the freedom to be myself in the music business.
Price issued her third album That’s How Rumors Get Started in 2020. Last spring, she released the single “Long Live the King” and later joined Jeremy Ivey—her husband—for the duet “All Kinds of Blue.” Last year, Price also became the first female artist to join the Farm Aid board of directors. She’s set to join Laurie Anderson, Keanu Reeves, , Trey Anastasio, and many more at the annual Tibet House Benefit on March 3.
