Margo Price's debut album, Midwest Farmer's Daughter, is full of hard-bitten country-rock odes to drink and trouble — the sort of thing you'd hear either 50 years ago or on the leading edge of country music today. Thankfully, her long underdog story, which includes a hocked wedding ring and a new home on Jack White's Third Man label, has finally led her to stages the size of this one at Stubb's in Austin, Texas. There, performing at NPR Music's SXSW showcase on March 16, Price and her crack band tore through an eight-song set that culminated in her breakthrough single: "Hurtin' (On The Bottle)," a rousing but disarmingly poignant anthem about, well, drink and trouble.
