NotesIris DeMent has returned with her first album of original music in 16 years, SING THE DELTA, on her own Flariella label. Co-produced by Bo Ramsey and Richard Bennett, SING THE DELTA is uplifting and heartbreaking, ripe with twang and soul. Dixie horns, weeping slide guitar balladry and bright, Gospel-tinged piano swirl as Iris contemplates religion, love and family with introspection and imagery that few singer/songwriters can convey.
