I had the pleasure of hearing Iris and John Prine duet in Fort Worth about 10 years ago. Front seat, a mere six from center. I went home that night with a happy memory that will stay with me until I die. My date was my husband who died a scant few years later, age 50 from a heart attack. Iris and John are embedded in my memories. Thank you for this video.

Iris has managed the move from cute country singer to the world's greatest folk singer by using her own songs and selecting the best of the rest from others e.g. Johnny Cash. All emotion, nothing artificial. Well done USA to produce a world treasure. Peter Turner, UK.

I don't agree. She was born great and has become greater. And 'country' is fine in my opinion. Little boxes, as Pete Seeger said.

When you're driving alone on one of those long, hypnotic highway road trips, there are two voices that can transform the monotony into exhilaration and the boring into invigorating: Iris DeMent and Hank Williams Sr. Oh my, can you imagine what they would have sounded like as a duet? The rapture of two angelic voices.

I remember the first time I heard Iris nearly 20 years ago. I was listening to NPR in my car. They played "Let the Mystery be" and I had to pull off on the shoulder. I broke down and cried on the side of the road. Been a fan ever since. I finally got to see her live a couple years ago. This woman is the real deal. As pure and genuine as they come.

Can't let taddyd1's comment go by without choking. Joanie made several wonderful country albums at Quad's studio, but Cash didn't need her help. Iris is a breath of honest, fresh country air helping to keep real country alive. And does it without needing a roomful of session musicians as seen here.

You'll have to listen to the album, because KZbin will take you to a different song of the same title, by Stevie Wonder. The one Irish and her mom (Flora Mae DeMint) do is a traditional folk tune.

I had a similar experience ... I was working on a project for Southern Ball in Richmond about 20 years ago. While I was driving in my rental from the airport to the hotel, I heard Iris on NPR. I pull over to hear "Let The Mystery Be" and catch the name of the singer. When I got back home to Philly the following week, I called around and I found a copy of Iris' cassette tape(!) at a niche music store in suburban Philly. I was a happy guy when I whupped that tape into my boom box ...

Don't much care for this cover. Iris, though, is a gem singing her own beautiful, melancolic songs. My wife and I saw her in Redondo Beach about a decade ago. I walked away depressed; she was angry that night, and she let it be known. It just added depth to her music after I got over it. She's real. Real and real.

I first her on "Heartfelt Music" hosted by John Davis on KPFK in Los Angeles. He played "Our Town". After I showered, got dressed, and read the paper, I rushed down to Tower Records in Sherman Oaks and bought her first recording. Saw her at McCabes and The Troubadour. Boy was she pretty back then. I think she went through some tough times though for she has really aged. But she still sings great. Saw her a couple of years ago again at McCabes in Santa Monica.

@ snufpark: The columbia album was titled , "The Fabulous Johnny Cash". I think his best stuff was, arguabley, between 1958 anf 1960. I still have that album in my basement as well as his first Sun album which was put out by Quality Records in Canada in 1956 or '57. I first discovered Cash in 1954. The first record I heard on Toronto AM radio, (no FM in those days), was "Hey Porter and "Cry, Cry,Cry. From then on, as a twelve year old, he was my idol after Hank Snow. Ken, Toronto, On.
