Margo Price has linked up with Billy Strings for a brand new song, “Too Stoned to Cry.” Stream the collaboration below.

Boasting vocal performances from both Price and Strings, “Too Stoned to Cry” is a twangy, tear-in-your-beer country ballad about, well, being too high to properly express your emotions. “I ain’t happy, I’m just too stoned to cry,” they sing over lap steel guitar, plotting drums, piano, and String’s characteristically bluegrass-tinged guitar playing.

“Billy has persevered a lot in his short life, and his story and dedication to the craft inspires me deeply,” Price wrote . “I may be biased, but I think this song shows how multi-talented Billy is as a player and a vocalist. His voice and delivery on this track absolutely blew me away and showcase his ability to sing and play country music with the best of them.”

To accompany the song, Price published an update on Substack , in which she details returning home from touring, being on the road with Susan Tedeschi, and the state of country music.

“Between AI, the internet, and the streaming and tech corporations, it feels like music has been stripped of humanity sometimes,” she mused. “Lots of people seem to be listening with their eyes these days, instead of their ears, or better yet, their hearts. The only way to fight bad art is to make good art, and that’s where my focus is these days.”

“When I first came on the scene, I was a countryfied, hard headed, whiskey drinkin’ nobody who was pissed off at the establishment. All of that’s still true, except for the whiskey drinkin’ part,” she added in a statement. “If anything, now that I’ve lived for a while inside of the establishment, I’m even more pissed off. I’ve let some people go, I’m still fighting with others to let me be myself, but I know I’m gonna make this next record the way I want to make it, no matter what it takes.”

As far as more new music goes, Price teased that she is indeed working on her next album. “For those of you wondering, why just a single? Why not a full album announcement? Well, of course, I’m working on an LP as we speak, I have been for some time now,” she explained. “In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this sad ass country song.”
