User Album Review
Margo Price throws her hat into the ring as one of the best Southern songwriters of the modern age with All American Made. Price's sophomore record takes the microscope that she fixated on herself on Midwest Farmer's Daughter and points it back at the world, examining politics and society while maintaining the heart that made her debut such a sensation.
The album closes with the title track, a poignant political statement Price wrote under the Obama administration that's even more vital under Trump. She reflects on welfare and the threat of nuclear war while handpicked, sampled speeches crackle away in the distance. Price says she tried to keep the voices balanced, light and dark at all times; at one point, it's Richard Nixon and Martin Luther King, each hard-panned to a side. Throughout the song, the at-odds voices are broken up by reverb-drenched guitars, a chorus of children and Price herself. The album fittingly fades out as Nixon and Bill Clinton yammer on.
All American Made is provocative, charismatic and endearing, proving what many of country's all-time greats already seem to know: Margo Price is a legend in the making.
