Before Independence Day, Margo Price has surprise-released her Days of Unrest mixtape, featuring the singer’s renditions of protest songs tackling the issues Price has championed.
Along with the mixtape’s arrival, Price has also shared the video for her rendition of Woody Guthrie’s “Deportee (Plane Crash at Los Gatos),” which she frequently performed live, including notably at the 2025 Newport Folk Festival. On this version, Price is joined by Memphis Mariachi and Joaz Baez, who famously performed “Deportee” alongside Bob Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Revue tour.
“I’ve been singing ‘Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)’ for a couple decades now, so it’s only fitting that I would cover it on Days Of Unrest,” Price said in a statement. “I first heard it when I was watching Joan Baez and Bob Dylan sing it on The Rolling Thunder Review. Joan Baez has inspired me beyond words, so to have her voice on this recording feels surreal. I’ve taken cues from her career both musically and as I’ve moved into the role of ‘cultural worker.'”
