Released in the throes of bro-country and before pop stars were crossing over into the genre left and right\, it showcased an artist completely unafraid to double down not only on herself\, but what she’d always loved: classic country songs written from the intellect and the gut\, hell-bent on truth-telling and both timeless and urgent all at once. Respected by her peers\, praised by critics and beloved by her fans\, Price created a lane where independent-minded\, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream\, and became an ardent fighter for her beliefs in a genre where the norm is to shut up and sing. A trailblazer and a champion for the craft\, Price redefined what it meant to be a modern country artist. \n\n\n\n    And now she’s back with an exquisite\, truly timeless album that reconnects with her roots and pays tribute to the art of the country song\, inspired in part by the legends whom she now calls colleagues and friends. Hard Headed Woman is both a look forward and a look back: a way to march forward while staying true to yourself when the path of less resistance is right there in front of us\, and short cuts are around every corner. And a way to look back when we need to trim what is no longer working\, and to stay connected with where we’re from. It is a promise and a manifesto\, a love song to both a city and a genre\, and a defiant cry for individuality. \n\n\n\nIn creating Hard Headed Woman\, Price brought all of her power as one of  our most beloved and respected songwriters to craft a deep exploration of love and America in a time of unprecedented uncertainty. Featuring appearances from Tyler Childers\, co-writes with Rodney Crowell and a Waylon Jennings song that his widow\, Jessi Colter\, urged her to sing\, it is country music as only Price can make it: free of rules\, cherishing tradition\, hard headed to the core but with a delicate\, beating heart. \n\n\n\nSince releasing Midwest Farmer’s Daughter\, Price has barely slowed down. She’s made four records\, played Saturday Night Live\, been nominated for a Grammy\, toured the world alongside artists like Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson\, released a lauded memoir (Maybe We’ll Make It\, due on paperback September 2nd)\, became an in-demand producer and was appointed as the first female board member of Nelson’s Farm Aid. And she’s been fearless when it came to genre\, venturing into psychedelic rock on her most recent\, Jonathan Wilson-produced record\, Strays. It would have been easiest to just stay that course\, and keep running. But Price doesn’t follow success or comfort. She follows the art. \n\n\n\n    It took a whole lot of hard work and honesty with herself and others to get there\, but that’s never stopped Price before.  “I made the decision that I had to rebuild everything from the ground up\,” Price says. “There’s all this pressure to be pumping out content\, and I felt the opposite in the way I wanted to approach this record and my life in general.” \n\n\n\n    Price had also established herself as one of the most passionate\, vocal artists in country music and beyond when it came to standing up for political and personal causes\, from the presidential election\, to abortion to gun control: happily hard headed when it came to the fight for equality and justice\, especially for the working class and underserved in our society. Price has always brilliantly woven her activism into her songs\, but her role as a spokesperson had started to overtake\, on occasion\, her role as a songwriter. She wanted to focus on using her written word to deliver the most potent punch of all. \n\n\n\n    “I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did\,” Price says\, “which is speak up for the common man and woman. But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years\, when I am only coming from a place of love.” \n\n\n\nPrice realized she just needed a break from everything outside of the bubble of family life and her art. She started spending more time at home\, writing songs alone and with her husband\, Jeremey Ivey. She started popping up in the dive bars and tiny venues around Nashville where she got her start\, sometimes just to play a country cover or two or dance with the crowd. She refused guidance to write for pop stars or compromise her values for a quick buck. Most of all\, she turned the emphasis in her music back to songwriting\, exactly where she began.          \n\n\n\n“So much of Strays was leaning into this psychedelic\, textural territory\,” says Price. The music lent itself to vibrant\, heavy stage jams\, with Price often hopping behind the drumkit and bruising her thigh from a tambourine beat. She found herself longing for the days when it was just her and her guitar\, playing at an East Nashville dive bar. “I always knew\,” she adds\, “I would come back to this more rooted sound.” \n\n\n\n    Hard Headed Woman is rooted to its core. Rooted in Price’s history and struggle to make it as a musician for so many years in a town that prizes uniformity and the bottom line\, rooted in the country and folk sounds that have become her signature\, rooted in the simplicity of a few key collaborators instead of songs-by-committee. At the heart of Price’s work is her creative partnership with Ivey\, with whom she describes as having a “soul connection.” “I’m a songwriter\,” Price says. “I’m not somebody who goes out and needs five people to craft a song\, and then tack my name on it. That’s never been my style. I have something to say.” \n\n\n\nSomething to say\, nothing to prove. The first song they wrote for the album that would become Hard Headed Woman was “Close to You\,” a simple\, pining call for a lover that is infused with the sounds of the desert. It’s unfettered and truth-telling\, accented by some flamenco guitar and Price’s gorgeous\, urgent vocals. “We played the jukebox while democracy fell\,” Price sings\, never letting her songs fall out of the context in which they exist. It’s the kind of thing that only she could write\, carrying both love and fear in one single line. \n\n\n\nAs more songs started to form\, an early boost of confidence came from her friends Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris\, who heard some of the work at a political fundraiser and encouraged Price to keep going.  “I have both of them to thank for building me up and making me believe in the songs I am writing in this season of my life\,” Price says. Crowell remained not only an inspiration and supporter of the album but a contributor: he co-wrote two songs with Price and Ivey. \n\n\n\n    The album that unfolded from there is drenched in Price’s unique story and unshakeable instincts: while Midwest Farmer’s Daughter was about her journey from childhood to Nashville\, Hard Headed Woman is very much her battle since from dive bars to tour buses\, through parenthood and marriage\, through scrutiny and sacrifice all while fighting constantly for what she believes in\, and the music she loves. It begins with a proclamation on the prelude\, which serves as the album’s mission statement: or\, Price puts it\, “a disclaimer and reminder that I don’t owe you fucking shit.” \n\n\n\n    Songs like the album’s lead single\, “Don’t Let the Bastards Get you Down\,” speak for the downtrodden and the forgotten\, an “anthem for people who are being overlooked in society and need to be lifted up\,” Price says\, “because we are up against so much right now.” As so many of Price’s songs do\, it speaks both for the personal and the political all at once. Price was inspired by the message Kris Kristofferson whispered to Sinead O’Connor when she was booed on stage at a Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary show\, and even got Kristofferson’s widow’s blessing to include his name on the credits. “I always admired Kris for how he stood by her in that moment\, instead of pulling her off the stage like they told him\,” Price says. It serves as a reminder to anyone who encounters resistance in the face of fighting for justice to keep going\, especially when it would be so much easier to capitulate and cower. \n\n\n\n“The song was originally written for a movie that never happened\, but it feels so timely with everything that’s going on in the world\,” Price explains. “The phrase\, ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down’ originates from Margaret Atwood’s brilliant 1985 piece of literature\, The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s referred to in Latin and used as a rallying cry for resistance against the oppressive regime that symbolizes resilience and hope in the face of adversity. Nolite te Bastardes Caborundorum.” \n\n\n\n    That spirit resonates all across the songs of Hard Headed Woman. The blistering “Don’t Wake Me Up” was based around some writings that Ivey stumbled upon in one of Price’s notebooks\, inspired in part by her deep readings of Frank Stanford\, one of her favorite poets due to his freewheeling work free of boundaries. They spun it all into song in minutes that chugs with the essence of Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues”: “The way this world is going\, ain’t where I’m at\,” Price howls in her powerful\, unmistakable voice. “Nowhere is Where\,” turns slow and contemplative\, road-worn but never broken\, the call of someone who has been to the mountain but never forgets the prairie below. And “Losing Streak” whirls in with an organ and out with a weary\, world-worn defiance: our worst times don’t define us\, but they’re always part of who we are. \n\n\n\nThere are songs that go back to the beginning of Price’s early grind\, like the western-tinged “Wild at Heart\,” reflecting on how much her life and the city of Nashville has changed over the years – and how important it is to stay true to exactly who you are despite it all. Another\, called “Red Eye Flight\,” is about both leaving a lover and also leaving her longtime band the Pricetags. “I’ve been with those players for ten\, thirteen years\,” she says. “But I could feel that I needed to make a change\, and to change texturally what’s going on with the band. But it’s a familial bond\, different than a friendship.” \n\n\n\nThere are a few choice covers and cuts\, too: “Love Me Like You Used To Do” is by Price’s friend Steven Knudson\, an unsung Nashville writer on whom she hopes to shine a spotlight (helping to elevate the town’s incredibly talented but buried voices is one of Price’s favorite pastimes). Friend Tyler Childers joins Price on that waltzing country ballad\, while “I Just Don’t Give a Damn” is Price’s “Jolene goes to Memphis” take on the Jimmy Peppers and George Jones classic. And showcasing how Price has been trusted by the greats to lead the next generation of country music renegades\, “Kissin You Goodbye” was given to Price by Jessi Colter\, Waylon Jennings’ widow\, when Price was producing her record. They’re songs chosen to appreciate the past and the present as she sees it – not as Music Row or the algorithm might dictate – and place Price squarely amongst her heroes as a living and breathing part of the new country tradition. \n\n\n\n    When it came time to record Hard Headed Woman\, it was important for Price to keep that ethos alive\, decamping to Nashville’s RCA Studio A and reuniting with producer Matt Ross-Spang\, with whom she made her first two solo albums. Though she has worked with everyone from Sturgill Simpson to Jonathan Wilson since\, it was Spang’s vocal rebuke of easy studio shortcuts that made her eager to reunite again. “He’s so unpretentious\,” Price says. “He fully believes in me\, he fully believes in my songs. He got us back to feeling it in your gut and not needing everything to be so perfect.” \n\n\n\n    It felt truly significant for Price to make the album in Nashville\, a city where she’s lived for over two decades and played a seminal role in its transformation\, yet somehow never recorded an album in the place she’s called home. The historic RCA Studio A helped connect Price even closer to the legacy of songwriting she holds so dear\, a place where everyone from Dolly Parton to John Prine to Loretta Lynn have made albums. “It felt like there were ghosts and spirits just hanging out\,” Price says. In perfect kismet\, she also launched her own signature Gibson J-45 guitar\, inspired by her 1960’s Gibson she’s had by her side for years as her career took off. It’s all part of the continuity that she wishes to create with her art\, not just with timeless songs but inspiring future generations of women\, mothers and artists in general who don’t want to sacrifice their vision\, moral compass or family life in favor of mainstream success. \n\n\n\nAt its core\, Hard Headed Woman is about that furious instinct to never waver\, especially when ourselves\, our values and our future is so clearly on the line. As she sings on the title track\, “I ain’t ashamed\, I just am what I am.” \n\n\n\n    “I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves\,” Price says\, “in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Logan LedgerA Nashville-based singer/songwriter with a smooth voice and classic tone\, Logan Ledger built a buzz around Music City in the late-2010s\, calling to mind names like and . His career got a significant boost when producer signed him and brokered a record deal with \, resulting in an eponymous full-length record appearing in 2020 as well as 2023’s Golden State. \n\n\n\nA native of California\, Ledger developed a fondness for bluegrass\, old-time\, and honky tonk music from a young age. After a brief post-college stint as part of a Bay Area bluegrass band\, he migrated east to Nashville and put in the requisite hours working on his songs and playing at venues around the city. Industry insiders quickly took notice\, and before long he was working with the legendary \, who signed him to his imprint and helped foster a deal for Ledger with . The first official release from these sessions arrived in early 2019 with the singles “Starlight” and “Imagining Raindrops.” \n\n\n\nFor 2023’s Golden State\, Ledger worked with producer \, along with such musicians as Nick Bockrath and Jamie Douglass; it also featured a cameo by on “Some Misty Morning.” ~ Timothy Monger

SUMMARY:The Brothers Comatose with Goodnight Texas at The Wilma
DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes The Brothers Comatose for a live concert with Goodnight Texas at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Friday\, November 14\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes The Brothers Comatose for a live concert with Goodnight Texas at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Friday\, November 14. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Brothers ComatoseThe Brothers Comatose are a roots-infused bluegrass band known for their infectious blend of Americana\, folk\, and traditional bluegrass. Based in San Francisco\, California\, the band has developed a reputation for their high-energy performances\, heartfelt songwriting\, and impressive musicianship. Founded in 2008 by brothers Ben and Alex Morrison\, the group features a lineup of talented musicians whose core of their sound is defined by tight harmonies\, virtuosic string instrumentation\, and a foot-stomping\, back-porch spirit. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, the band welcomed multi-instrumentalist Addie Levy into the fold\, adding a new layer of depth and dynamic to their sound. As a mandolin player and singer\, Levy’s contribution brought a fresh energy and a new dimension to the band’s harmonies\, seamlessly blending with the Morrison brothers’ voices while enhancing their already distinctive bluegrass stylings. Her presence not only broadened the band’s musical range but also enriched their live performances\, creating an even more compelling and cohesive sound. \n\n\n\nThe Brothers Comatose’s sound draws from a variety of influences\, including old-time bluegrass\, country\, and rock\, but they make it uniquely their own with a modern twist and a strong emphasis on storytelling. Their songs often delve into themes of love\, loss\, adventure\, and the human experience\, all while maintaining an upbeat\, rollicking energy that keeps fans coming back for more. \n\n\n\nThe band has earned praise for their live shows\, which are marked by their lively stage presence and infectious enthusiasm. Whether performing intimate club shows or festival mainstages\, The Brothers Comatose deliver an unforgettable experience that showcases their deep passion for music and performance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Goodnight TexasGoodnight\, Texas is a band you’ve almost certainly heard by accident somewhere. And now on second look\, you’re deep in their catalog and they’re telling you stories about trapped coal miners and lovebird bank robbers. Banjos and mandolins twinkle. Now you’re seeing Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf and their band live and they’re swelling to a fever pitch\, suddenly singing quiet harmonies off-mic\, and then rocking out again. You’re talking to them at the merch table for a good while and you’re legitimately excited about their new album Signals because\, more than ever before\, it captures the vast dynamic range of the show and blends it with their expansive and intricate songwriting. \n\n\n\nWithout doubt\, the new album kicks. Lead single “RUNAWAYS” even features a blazing guest solo from none other than Metallica’s Kirk Hammett\, who admired the band’s version of “Of Wolf and Man” on the 2022 covers album The Metallica Blacklist. \n\n\n\nBut beyond the memorable sock-you-in-the-face riffs\, GN\, TX is reaching its roots deeper in every direction on Signals. Their first album-sized trip into the studio expands their sonic range\, thanks to Oakland’s Ian and Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof\, Tune-Yards). Stories of the Americana of yore bleed into the near past and present via DB Cooper and North Dakota oil field workers. Electric guitars pound like hammers\, but the mandolins still twinkle like stars. Is that song a little tongue in cheek? Are those strings? \n\n\n\nFurther googling reveals that NME\, Rolling Stone\, No Depression and Consequence of Sound have recently featured the band\, and that in 2023 they appeared at SXSW\, Red Wing Roots and Austin City Limits Festival. They’ve toured with Larkin Poe\, Shakey Graves\, Trampled by Turtles\, The Brothers Comatose\, Donavon Frankenreiter\, and John Craigie. Back in 2020\, their song “The Railroad” was the opening montage theme for Tiger King\, which had 53 million streams in its first week. Maybe that’s where you heard them in the first place. Or maybe it was the Coors Banquet commercial with Sam Elliott. Wait a minute\, they have a quarter of a billion streams across platforms. Maybe it was at a bar or in your friend’s car\, who knows. \n\n\n\nStill at the merch table at last call\, you learn: Goodnight\, Texas is a hamlet of 27 people and dozens of dogs\, the exact mile-for-mile midpoint between co-founders Avi and Patrick’s homes in San Francisco and Chapel Hill (as the van drives). The band is hoping to make it back and play another show for their friends there in the near future.
