No artist in America is guaranteed a living; the best this country can offer is the chance to make a life in the margins while you search for an open door. Margo Price's remarkable memoir is about what it really means to take that deal, and all the freedom and precarity that come with it. Of course there's music in this book, on a pure phrase-by-phrase level--a driving rhythm, lines as true as over-the-shoulder darts finding the bull's-eye. But the whole point of Margo's account of a working songwriter and working parent's switchback climb to a sustainable twenty-first-century existence, both onstage and off, is that even talent on loan from God won't put gas in the van. You have to be braver than an acrobat to walk this path at all, let alone walk it without compromise. Anyone who's ever bared their heart to empty rooms and measured out time in smashed bottles, dreaming of just breaking even, will see themselves in this story., Price has a knack for telling stories and drawing readers into her life and experience, and Maybe We'll Make It radiates with her bright candor; she's not interested in hiding her heart in the shadows and covering her feelings with darkness. Price bares her soul and the jaggedness of her emotions, making Maybe We'll Make It one of the best music memoirs so far this year., A rough, rowdy, and brutally honest story of dreams and frustrations, good and bad choices, pain and joy...Price's willingness to be open and honest about her experiences and mistakes is one of the most fascinating aspects of the book. She also avoids the twin traps common to memoirists, neither amping up her tales for exploitative shock value nor casting her past in self-pitying justification. Instead, she presents her stories of substance abuse, bad choices, and infidelity as simple facts...While Price's personal journey centers the book, a larger story unfolds alongside it. Price's encounters with the 21st-century mainstream Nashville music-biz complex are informative, entertaining, and, at times, unsettling., Much like [Price's] music, her memoir is written with an authentic, singular voice. She opens up more about loss, motherhood, drinking, her songs, and much more., The story of [Price's] development as an artist--and a person--who, by almost any means necessary, is making it by sticking to her beliefs and doing it her way, makes for a interesting read., [An] unflinching memoir...Price paints a vivid portrait of a musician who moves to Nashville with big dreams., Price is a forthright and spirited raconteur with a quick turn of phrase. Her affable, earnest nature draws in the reader, despite her occasional transgressions (and, at times, maybe even because of them)., [A] dazzling debut...Told with moving candor, Price's tale of overcoming squalor and pain provides powerful emotional context to her hard-won country music stardom. Fans will adore this story of survival., [Price's] new memoir, which covers her childhood and her years struggling to start her career in Nashville, proves that she's just as talented at penning prose as she is at writing songs - which is to say, really damn good. Reading this book feels like hanging out with one of your smartest, liveliest friends., 'Singing is not a real job,' a guidance counselor once told a teenage Margo Price. What she shows us in her moving memoir is what a heck of a lot of work it is...Here, you sense, is someone who has fought every day for what she wants to do--and a reminder of how much unseen toil goes into a creative life., [ Maybe We'll Make It ] offers a beautifully wrought narrative of cheerleading, waitressing, poverty, substance abuse, drunk tanks and grievous personal loss as she was rebuffed by the music business for over a decade., [ Maybe We'll Make It leaves] you hankering for a sequel this sharply remembered, keenly written and marvelously self-perceptive., An astonishing tale of an incredible journey...Of its many notable successes, the book efficiently and effectively seals the chapter on popular, mainstream country music's divorce from its diverse, rustic roots. Plus, Price's tales highlight that split's honest, near-destructive impact on the genre's metaphorical orphaned children. Even deeper, these artists energizing themselves and their careers via digital-era globalization and DIY bootstrapping--amid East Nashville-residing marginalization from country music's mainstream industry--reads like the most authentic and timeless outlaw tale combining elements of punk rock and country's crossover into 70s-era rock and roll., This is the best music memoir of the year. As she does in her music, Price lays her soul bare here, pulling no punches in revealing her highs and lows, including her struggles with addiction and the faltering early days of her marriage, with bright candor. Price knows well how tell a story and draws us easily into the shadows and light of her life and music., [An] engaging and beautifully narrated quest for personal fulfillment and musical recognition...This is a fast-paced tale in which music and love always take center stage...A truly gifted musician, Price writes about her journey with refreshing candor., Margo Price's memoir of grit and resilience is one of our favorites to come out on University of Texas Press's consistently quality American Music Series. The Nashville-based, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter relates the twenty years since she dropped out of college to become a musician with a keenly illustrative narrative voice and invokes a storyteller who 'quit trying to change the past' in order to share the lessons for 'the recent future.', She has never lost that early hunger, or her rebellious streak. Hers is a tale of committed endurance punctuated by euphoria, and gives insight into several unlikely influences - the Kinks and Sylvia Plath among them - on her irrepressible music., Price's music is the soundtrack to her courageous story in progress. In the best possible way, this book reads like the liner notes: honest, heartfelt, and profound., The writer and woman we find in the memoir is the same person we find in [Price's] music: candid and vulnerable with the ability to make you laugh with one line and make you cry with the next. Maybe We'll Make It explores the balance of art and life, the ups and downs of 'making it,' profound love, and profound loss. Price's writing is conversational, lyrical, and above all, human. You can hear the person behind the prose., [A] stunning, emotional, inspiring new memoir...In her authentic, no-nonsense voice, Price shares the stories that became songs, and the small acts of love and camaraderie it takes to survive in a music industry that is often unkind to women., Maybe We'll Make It never becomes a morality tale, which would be out of character for the artist and a poor interpretation of her life. Price's early years become part of the complexity of who she is, not just as an artist but as a person...It might be unusual for an artist to pen a memoir so early in her career, but Price has never done things the normal way, and in this case, the choice to write was an excellent decision., Price has released a series of great records as well as a phenomenal memoir called Maybe We'll Make It ., The gritty struggle of how to get noticed in Nashville...Now established as a favourite songwriter of Willie Nelson, Margo Price had a hard ride to where she is today, her memoir reading like a soap opera borne from a song...As Price's music evolved, so her wisdom grows during the book, and at its heart is stoic love: for each other, for family and friends, and above all for music and creative freedom., Compelling, honest, and powerful... Maybe We'll Make It should be required reading for anyone thinking about how music is made in the 2020's. That applies not only to artists, but also (perhaps especially) to club owners, journalists, or record company executives., [ Maybe We'll Make It ] documents [Price's] prolonged plight and the unsung truth of breaking into the biz: It's not glamorous...Her candid memoir takes the reader on a life-affirming journey., This is a love story. Whether it's gentle or tough love, and whether it's in times of ease or struggle, these pages reveal Margo's true love affair with music, her passion for family and friends, and her weaving together of artistic victories in the face of life challenges., Margo's beautifully captured story pulled me in from the start. She's my musical sister, and I loved this book., [ Maybe We'll Make It ] begins with Price's childhood in rural Illinois and ends with her April 2016 appearance on ' Saturday Night Live .' Most of her fans have followed the music she's made since then, but Maybe We'll Make It sheds light on the long road that got her there., It would be an understatement to call her poignant, pulverizing memoir, ... Maybe We'll Make It , soul-baring. Price practically plops her heart, spleen, and a couple of kidneys onto the page., Margo Price delivers an unflinching self-portrait of an artist striving to find her sound and make her Music City dreams come true...Artists of all creeds will find something relatable in Maybe We'll Make It , with its raw depictions of the artist's perennial dilemma: bridging the transcendental need to create with the very real need to survive. Beyond this, Price's memoir offers a heart-wrenching account of her journey as a mother., Price has to be praised for writing such an open and honest account of her early life as a musician, struggling to 'make it' in the modern day music business. Reading this book, you can't help but think that every wannabe music star should be sat down and forced to read this before they embark on their first gig, because this is an incredibly honest account of just how difficult it can be to even get on the bottom rung of that long climb to the top...This book is every bit as compelling as her songs...[ Maybe We'll Make It ] is, quite simply, a great read., Courageously frank, utterly moving...Price tells us, with breathtaking honesty and courage, her story to achieve a sustainable career as a singer-songwriter. Through all manner of struggles, humiliations, disappointments, and personal tragedies, Price maintains her perseverance despite being tested to the core., Maybe We'll Make It is a beautiful, soul-bearing memoir...Despite her elegant prose, Price does not hold back any of the ugly details of her starving artist lifestyle...Her unabashed commentary on the sexist undertones of the country music industry, and the grueling need to prove herself to record labels that are only too eager to cast her aside, reveal her fighter spirit...Even in her darkest moments, Price writes with crushing honesty and humility. Her story serves as a poignant reflection on finding courage in chaos and leaning on a support system when life is too difficult to shoulder alone.

Synopsis
An October 2022 IndieNext pick "[An] engaging and beautifully narrated quest for personal fulfillment and musical recognition...This is a fast-paced tale in which music and love always take center stage...A truly gifted musician, Price writes about her journey with refreshing candor."-- Kirkus , starred review "Brutally honest...a vivid and poignant memoir."-- The Guardian Country music star Margo Price shares the story of her struggle to make it in an industry that preys on its ingenues while trying to move on from devastating personal tragedies. When Margo Price was nineteen years old, she dropped out of college and moved to Nashville to become a musician. She busked on the street, played open mics, and even threw out her TV so that she would do nothing but write songs. She met Jeremy Ivey, a fellow musician who would become her closest collaborator and her husband. But after working on their craft for more than a decade, Price and Ivey had no label, no band, and plenty of heartache. Maybe We?ll Make It is a memoir of loss, motherhood, and the search for artistic freedom in the midst of the agony experienced by so many aspiring musicians: bad gigs and long tours, rejection and sexual harassment, too much drinking and barely enough money to live on. Price, though, refused to break, and turned her lowest moments into the classic country songs that eventually comprised the debut album that launched her career. In the authentic voice hailed by Pitchfork for tackling "Steinbeck-sized issues with no-bullshit humility," Price shares the stories that became songs, and the small acts of love and camaraderie it takes to survive in a music industry that is often unkind to women. Now an award-winning artist with a global fanbase, Price tells a love story of music, collaboration, and the struggle to build a career while trying to maintain her singular voice and style., Country music star Margo Price shares the story of her struggle to make it in an industry that preys on its ingenues while trying to move on from devastating personal tragedies., When Margo Price was nineteen years old, she dropped out of college and moved to Nashville to become a musician.
