Nashville’s Margo Price exploded onto the scene last year with her debut Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, a country record that shared more in common with the 1960s styles of legends like Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson than anything in the country market today. Just last month, Price released her sophomore effort All American Made to nationwide critical acclaim. From duet ballads with the aforementioned Nelson to tackling issues like the pay gap between men and women in America, Price has crafted one of the top country albums of the year, and one that only solidifies her place in the changing country landscape. – Chris Thiessen
