Price expands her musical horizons past the cliché of three-chords and the truth on All American Made. Price’s voice sounds stronger, more confident than on her wily, yet ragged debut.
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.
After the deeply personal Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, honky-tonk hero Margo Price sets her sights outward on All American Made.

Though much of the writing on All American Made is a testament to her fiery independent streak, she and her band's overly slick, humdrum delivery of many of these songs suggest she isn't so far removed from the Nashville establishment as one might think.
Country Music in the landscape today is water-downed with much to the dismay of cliche lyrics and production. However, despite all of that there will be gems each year in country music that would restore your faith in the genre of country. For instance, Sturgill Simpson record last year "A sailors guide to earth" was a fantastic record that expanded alt country soundscape and showed top-notch songwriting.
