For lyrics, it’s those of Iris Dement I most relate to, and mean the most to me. And her mix of Hard Country, Bluegrass, and Gospel is right up my alley. My favorite living artist since I first heard her My Life album in 1993. Her music, like that of my favorite band, The Band, sounds timeless; at once both very old yet fresh. That’s really hard to pull off. A lot of music sounds "of it’s time", soon dated, disposable. Nothing wrong with that, I like disposable music too!
