When Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig sing together on stage, it’s impossible to tell where one voice ends and the other one begins. “When we sing together, it creates this third voice,” says Jess Wolfe. “It's almost harder to sing without the other now.” In our final episode of Runaway Horses, Margo sits down with Jess and Holly, frontwomen and founders of the band Lucius. Together, they discuss the deep and almost telepathic connection Jess and Holly have developed over the course of their 17-year collaboration, and how they produce their beautiful, unearthly harmonies. To close the episode and the series, Margo shares an exclusive first listen of ‘Anytime You Call,’ a new song off her forthcoming album, STRAYS, out January 2023.

Show Notes:

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.

For the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir, there is nothing better than being on stage, playing music in front of a live audience. “When you're hitting those notes that your body didn't know it could hit,” says Weir, “I feel beyond human. I can't imagine that there's more that life has to offer.” In this episode, Margo speaks to one of her long-time heroes about everything from meditation, to psychedelic mushrooms and the existence of God.

Show Notes: 
Bob Weir will play four shows at Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. with Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros, Oct 5-9, followed by a fall tour across the western U.S.
