Margo Price Shares New “Love Me Like You Used to Do” Video with Tyler Childers
Margo Price has shared a new behind-the-scenes music video for “Love Me Like You Used to Do,” her duet with Tyler Childers from her fifth studio album, Hard Headed Woman. The collaboration between two of country’s foremost torchbearers has unsurprisingly emerged as a fan favorite within Price’s celebrated full-length offering, released via Loma Vista in August, and the new video presents an inside look at the sessions that brought the song to life. At Nashville’s storied Sound Emporium Studios, Price and Childers settle in to summon a tale of worn-down romance, meeting eyes as they sing with a strikingly dry, tired tenderness. “Man, that sounds so pretty,” says Childers at the end of the video.
Price’s latest dispatch arrives hot on the heels of a busy few weeks. On Tuesday, Sept. 16, the singer-songwriter drew attention for her performance on the last airing of Jimmy Kimmel Live! prior to the show’s temporary suspension. To rally against the tense political climate that already loomed over the late-night program, she tweaked the lyrics to her new song “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down” with a prescient urging to “keep all them fascists underground.”
On Saturday, Sept. 20, Price returned to the stage for the 40th annual Farm Aid concert, for which she serves as the first female artist elected to the Board of Directors. Before a set that opened with the same rallying cry and later featured a treatment of Woody Guthrie’s “Deportee” and guest spots from Billy Strings and Jesse Welles on Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm,” she was warmly welcomed by Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar.
“For our next artist, Margo Price, this is personal,” Klobuchar said. “She is a Midwest farmer’s daughter, she grew up in Illinois, they lost their family farm in the 80s, and she took that experience and she put it to music. Her songs are about resilience, her songs are about dignity, her songs are about coming back from the hardest of times. And she is so good, that last week she was a featured artist on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. And Farm Aid, we want Margo back on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.”
Price’s celebration of Hard Headed Woman will continue with a cross-country tour through Nov. 22. This weekend, the outlaw country firebrand will perform at Los Angeles’ Grammy Museum and Dana Point, Calif.’s Ohana Festival. Find tickets and more information at margoprice.net/tour.
