CD
Iris Dement is one of the best voices I have ever listened too, so glad I have Amazon to be able to find things that you wouldn't find just anywhere, great condition when received, excellent quality.

Iris clear-eyed
Iris Dement's first LP (CD) is like .....

when I was a boy, a young teenager, I sat in the back seat of a dirty white Dodge station wagon with an older step -sister that I hardly knew + an arguing my mother and a step-father drinking driving while we traveled 500+ miles from CA to OR to see his ex-wife and my mother's best friend.

Iris sings like that.

Iris DeMents is definitely a modern folk treasure
i just stumbled on to this album and it was love at first. real folk music of the highest caliber can't believe its been around for fifteen years and i never heard any of it miss DeMent writes and sings the stuff and almost every tracks excellent i love all types of music as long as their tastefully done and this definitely fits the criteria

Don't let it pass you by
Had the great pleasure of hearing Iris Dement live last nite in a concert in a small club here in Bloomington, IN. Her sweet twangy voice coupled with her honest (joltingly at times) lyrics, her calm, and at times very funny stage presence, made for one great evening. If you get the chance to see her perform live near you, get there, now. You won't regret it. Opening for her was Jason Wilbur, a lead guitarist for John Prine, and a talented singer/musician in his own right. A truly magical evening. This CD is wonderful for many reasons, all stated here by others quite succinctly. You spend more then this every week at Starbucks-buy this CD and learn for yourself why her reviews are all so good.

Honest to goodness "FEEL GOOD" hokey corn pone folksy music!
"INFAMOUS ANGEL" is an album unlike most others you have unless you are a fan of blue grass, folk music, or old style country music. This is not a bad thing. I like "INFAMOUS ANGEL". It is very different from that to which I usually listen. It is a great change of pace and very enjoyable. I find that excellance of all kinds can be appreciated by anyone no matter what their tastes. "INFAMOUS ANGEL" falls into this category. It is excellant.

The song that makes "INFAMOUS ANGEL" famous is "OUR TOWN" which was featured in the series finallee of the tv show "NORTHERN EXPOSURE". The album is worth the price just to get this one song. All the others are a bonus.
