Inspiration for this morning's tune comes from a tv show I watched recently.
The Big Door Prize aired on Apple TV, and Our Town - by the same artist and from the same album this appears on, 1992's Grammy-nominated debut album Infamous Angel - popped up in one of the episodes, and led me to investigate further.
I'd never heard of Iris DeMent before this, or at least I didn't think I had - turns out she had sung four duets with John Prine on his 1999 album In Spite of Ourselves, so her name and voice should have rung a bell. I've even posted a Prine/DeMent duet on these pages before!
Anyway, this is quite lovely:
Iris Dement - When Love Was Young
More soon.
