You can take the girl out of the country, and maybe you can also take the country out of the girl. Or perhaps that’s taking it a bit far, butisn’t paying undue fealty to the traditional country feel that first brought her to the dance now that she’s on her third album. “That’s How Rumors Get Started,” which finds her working not just with a new label but a new producer,.
“That’s How Rumors Get Started” also finds some lyrical departures, getting further from the drinking tropes of her breakout songs from 2016’s “Midwest Farmer’s Daughter” but also not diverting as much to the heightened social consciousness of 2017’s “All American Made.
But most of the new album deals with the discomforts of home and relationships therein in a reflective mode that’s apropos for the cabin-fever moment. “Heartless Mind” is the barnburner of the record, all swirly organs, psyched-out twin guitar leads and nervous energy that contends “love’s a house that might be haunted.” Since Price’s husband, Jeremy Ivey, co-wrote nearly all these songs and plays guitar on most of them, we can probably infer that the state of the union is strong.
In the finale, the ruggedly rhythm-guitar based “I’d Die for You,” she finally revives some of the faintly political overtones familiar from the last album — choosing as her setting a beleaguered downtown where “boards go up, signs go down,” giving way to “naked streets of Babylon.” But that small-town starkness is really just a place for her to make a stand for a deathless romantic love. It resembles nothing so much as U2’s “All I Want is You,” as Price stands torch-bearing and true.
