    Bettye LaVette Will F*ck You Up (feat. Bettye LaVette)

    From Bob Dylan to Dolly Parton, from Pink Floyd to Sinéad O'Connor, Bettye LaVette has covered them all—and each time, she’s made the songs she performs uniquely her own. When Margo Price first heard LaVette’s rendition of John Prine’s Souvenirs, it blew her away. In this episode, Margo sits down with LaVette to discuss her childhood growing up in Detroit, making her first record at 16, and all the devastatingly sad music that LaVette was drawn to listening to as a young adolescent. Plus, LaVette remembers what it was like to perform at the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama.    Show Notes:  You can get a “She Will F*ck You Up” t shirt of your very own at LaVette’s website. Before she got her start, LaVette used to hang out at the Graystone Ballroom where she met Sherma Lavett—a local groupie who inspired LaVette (born Betty Jo Haskins) to adopt her stage name, Bettye LaVette. At 16, LaVette made her first record, My Man – He's a Lovin' Man. Watch LaVette perform at the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009. Margo’s new album, Strays, will be out January 2023. Stream her latest single ‘Change of Heart,’ available now.   Credits: Runaway Horses is produced by work by work: Scott Newman, Jemma Rose Brown, Kathleen Ottinger and Emily Shaw.

    You Can Be Country (feat. Amythyst Kiah)

    “I've had so many different ways that I've described my music,” says singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah, “but it’s always been important to me, to allow myself to explore.” That’s exactly what she’s doing on her latest EP, Pensive Pop—bringing new life and depth to pop-rock songs like Green Day’s “Hitchin’ A Ride” and Katy Perry’s “Chained To The Rhythm” in ways that draw out the soulful heart of those tunes. In this episode, Amythys Kiah and Margo Price dig into how therapy has deepened her songwriting, the expansiveness of the country genre and Kiah’s predictions for the future of the country music scene.  Show Notes:  Amythyst Kiah’s EP, Pensive Pop, is available to stream and purchase now. This fall, Amythyst Kiah is on tour across the United States and Europe. On November 4, Amythyst Kiah will perform Songs of Our Native Daughters with fellow collaborators Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell at Carnegie Hall.  Amythyst Kiah’s gym workout recommendation is Cutthroat Shamrock’s There Is A Time.   Credits: Runaway Horses is produced by work by work: Scott Newman, Jemma Rose Brown, Kathleen Ottinger and Emily Shaw.
