Songs this good don't come around every day.


 

And this is just one out of Iris DeMent’s fantastic repertoire. My favorite living songwriter and singer.

Just listened to it on my newly configured system. 

Beautiful song, great recording. 

 

 

Yeah Stuart, Iris' basic style is melancholy (which I deeply relate to, considering it a sensible view of life). But some of her stuff is quite joyous, and on stage she is quite humorous. A great live performer, with a grand style of piano playing and a very strong voice. I little like Maria Muldaur, dontcha think?
