Margo Price: Strays review – a magic mushroom-fuelled trip that packs a lyrical gut-punch

Nashville star Margo Price went from poverty and alcoholism to pawning her wedding ring in order to fund her 2016 debut Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, which topped the UK country charts. But she refuses to let her backstory define her on her fourth album, Strays. Driving organ-rich opener Been to the Mountain finds her declaring “I’ve rolled in dirty dollars, stood in the welfare line” but announcing, defiantly: “I know there’s more here than this.”
