Iris Dement My Life (CD)

(Yep Roc Records) 10 tracks, digisleeve

My Life, the second album from Americana pioneer Iris DeMent, solidified her legacy as one of the nation's greatest living songwriters. Dedicated to her father Patrick Shaw DeMent, who passed away in 1992, the album exemplifies DeMent's razor-sharp songwriting in originals like “Sweet Is the Melody,” “No Time to Cry” and the title track. The songs “are jewels of universal longing”
