    Default Anyone here ever listen to Iris DeMent?

    Misplaced the one CD of hers I own over a year ago, "The Way I Should," and just found it today. For a C/W singer, she has some strange lyrics on a few of the songs from this album. The angry, "Wasteland of the Free" sounds more like a folk/rock anthem to me than C/W. Lyrics at link below

    The defiant, "The Way I Should" sounds more C/W to me, but once again the lyrics are not what I'm used to hearing in C/W music. Lyrics for this song at this link

    She also has several other songs on this CD which really are more folk-style social commentary than C/W, but I'm interested if anyone here has ever heard of her?

    As to strange lyrics, I guess I shouldn't talk, considering I listen to Leonard Cohen almost daily. Not being one to go to SCs, but finding the people here interesting, about the only way someone could entice me into a club is find one where the DJ played Leonard Cohen 24/7. And I doubt this would ever happen close enough to home for me...I prefer stayin' home most of the time I'm not working.
