In recent months, acclaimed country artist Margo Price has been performing the classic 1965 Bob Dylan song “Maggie’s Farm” regularly at her concerts, including her appearances at the 2025 Newport Folk Festival and Farm Aid. Now, Price has released a revved-up new studio version of the tune that’s available via digital formats and for streaming.

Price’s cover is highlighted by staccato guitar lines, wailing harmonica, and some welling pedal steel. She’s joined on backing vocals by Logan Ledger and Sean Thompson.
You can check out a visualizer video for the song at Price’s official YouTube channel. The clip includes images of recent newspaper articles reporting that Margo delivered an anti-fascist lyrical message during a performance in September on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Price’s performance of “Maggie’s Farm” at the Newport Folk Festival, which took place in July in Newport, Rhode Island, celebrated the 60th anniversary of Dylan’s infamous “electric” set at the event. Margo duetted with actor/singer John C. Reilly and also was joined by Jesse Welles on guitar.
At the 2025 Farm Aid concert, which was held in Minneapolis in September, Price performed the song with Welles and Billy Strings. Welles and Billy Strings both played their own sets at the event earlier at the event, while Dylan himself hit the stage later in the show.
“Maggie’s Farm” originally appeared on Dylan’s Bringing It All Back Home album, which was released in April 1965. The song was released as a single in the U.K., peaking at No. 22 in that country. The folk-rock legend also performed “Maggie’s Farm” at the Newport Folk Festival that year.
