Iris DeMent Mamas Opry

[khavafis]

Iris is one of the most beautiful women I can think of. And her modesty all along since youth... in the times we're living. Of course her music is off the charts. God bless her.

It took me 10 years to discover this YouTube video. The graphics match the words in the song beautifully! We're all showing our age as we get older. But Iris Dement's voice is ageless. So unusual and pure.
Thanks Iris. You're a beautiful person with a God given talent.

Raised my kids on the Infamous Angel album!

When you are fronting The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and you steal the show.... that's how great Iris is. My greatest moment when I was doing concert photography was when (in Seattle) I was standing next to Emmylou Harris and she said that Iris's singing was like a freight train roaring through your living room!

I’m from İstanbul, Turkey. She is well respected here.

This piece by Iris DeMent is pure gold. It will make you tear up.

This could be up there as the greatest ever Country song written and performed, Iris, the lyrics, the harmony and Iris's backing band are nothing short of sheer perfection, it doesn't get any better than this, thank you.

I can't listen to Iris Dement without thinking of John Prine. Two of music's greatest.

Saw Iris recently in Dublin - love her music and songs

[JMichaelWeiss]

Our Town is the saddest most beautiful song ever. Hope they play it at my passing. Unique and wonderful talent.

[feltongailey]

My God, I'd be so proud to be a backup of a backup singer on this one!

[chrisbowen]

When Iris smiles that smile after her wondrously beautiful song, I know I am in heaven!

[BoopShooBee]

What a gal. Great song writer and great singer with a very unique voice.

And she wears sensible shoes.

Although this lady and I have never met, I get this wonderful feeling inside of me every time I hear her do this touching song which she had written for her mother. Lets me know that she dearly loved her mom, which is how it should always be. What a sweet and tender voice that she has. Although I don't know her personally, as I have said, I would love to have the chance to meet her one day. I am certain that I would enjoy pickin' 'n grinnin' with her. I really love the sound of her beautiful voice. To me it's a blend of country and folk, which is nice. 🥰

She sings about a world rapidly disappearing and which we will never see again.

[frankbruun]

What a fantastic beautiful voice, when I start to listen to her songs I can`t stop.

[rodcollman]

I saw Iris in concert in Philadelphia years ago. I thought to bring a lot of tissues, which was a good thing — I needed them. I don’t know exactly why but I thinks it’s because there is something deep down true in her songs and her singing. It gets the tears rolling, but I love every minute of it!
