    At a time when bro country still rules the country-music charts, it’s wonderful to see that there are artists creating richer Nashville-based options, too. Chief among them: Margo Price.

    Price’s voice hovers somewhere between Alison Krauss and Dolly Parton — high and pure — and her music is full of guts and heartache, delving into everything from the loss of her family farm in the song “Heart of America” to women’s striving for equal pay in “Pay Gap.” A Rolling Stone profile of Price noted that her songs “routinely find beauty in scenes of decaying America: dried-up farmland, burned-out factory towns and the people who never escaped.”

    Her latest album, “All American Made,” drew critical raves. It follows on the heels of her acclaimed “Midwest Farmer’s Daughter,” released in 2016.

    She’s performed on “Saturday Night Live” and has been interviewed on NPR’s “Fresh Air.” And Saturday, she is in concert at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den. A free show by someone this good? Audience members come out the winners.

    Margo Price, 8 p.m. Saturday, Mohegan Sun Wolf Den; free; mohegansun.com.
