Iris Dement - I Miss A Lot Of Trains

Iris Dement singing I Miss A Lot Of Trains from the Real: Tom T Hall Project (1988)

[@johnanthony9313]

I first heard Country music as a boy in the 1950s...Iris Dement is how it should be. The emotion, the story telling the musicality...it's all there. And of course she is one gorgeous woman. Wow there is a God after all

[@BobPritchard-i3o]

Awesome song Awesome singer

[@MrDorbel]

My God, she is getting better and better as the years roll by and she was always amazing. I love Iris.

[@BerkelDI]

Iris DeMent is an American treasure for all generations. What a wonderful gift.

[@bobmcdonell1235]

Love the way this woman sings.

[@williammedford6031]

Gosh, I think I'm in love with this gal. What a voice and what a soul!

[@Scanjoon]

Both of you are too late. I laid claim a long time ago. :)

[@MrGlenpete]

Listening to this song is a pleasure and Iris is a true inspiration !!!

[@lutti250653]

she's amazing ,,, i love her style !!!

[@gertruse1]

Thank God....I have missed a lot of trains!! Iris' is at the top of my list of favorites!!

[@morris65j41]

Another great Tom T. Hall song...but Iris owns it, lock, stock & barrel!-)

[@deckiedeckie]

Discovered her music not long back....but I love it the same....

[@jacquismith3277]

Great stuff. Lovely voice, Iris. ❤

[@JamesBrown-qp3pw]

Anyone notice the great Duane Eddy Fender bass style riff at the end of Iris’s version ? My maternal Grandfather, whom I never knew, was a station agent on the old B&O Railroad in West Virginia. We have old friends from our time in Bakersfield in the early 70s. Recontacted them quite recently. She came from Arkansas and when I first heard Iris Dement’s voice it was as if I was listening to the same voice. John Prine likes Iris’s music a lot. Ain’t it great how music ties so many threads together in life?

[@GenuineAmerican]

Iris is pure 'Murica! Her singing bring back memories of when times were so much better than now...sad!

[@garyr1846]

Love her singing and her songs have been lucky enough to see her live in concert a couple times

[@xanbex8324]

BRAVO IRIS

[@Pambill54]

The First note just lifts your soul and puts a smile on your face . Even if you are home alone ...

[@AJRussortm]

" When the train.... pulls... in the station..." makes you sit up and pay attention...her voice is angry,, seductive , innocent, yet vulnerable ... That leaves me with a heartfelt experience of just what it means to face your own truth. Find out who you really are...

[@majornichols]

Yes, the highlight of a great tribute album. Nice photo clip too.

[@jimmmmy41]

When the train pulls in the station you'll be waiting by the track You're havin' trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back But that old train will roll on by, you'll know I never came While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains Your standin' in the station I can see you in my mind You think that I'll forgive again, but you're so wrong this time Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waiting there in vain While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains

[@richardpentelow655]

jimmmmy41. Not very accurate.

[@kathleenfinney4566]

[@douglascollins3335]

I like the way she did this. Thanks for posting.

[@mauricechaplin6420]

awesome song n singer, i missed alot of trains, the few i caught ended in tears, i go by bus now

[@carolshepherd5825]

I don’t think I have ever heard of her before…I have really enjoyed listening to her tonight and I would appreciate it if you could play her music often

[@harryjones6497]

I grew up beside the tracks for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the 1950s and listened to music like this. My oh my!

[@reforest4fertility]

Well right you are! I'm not surprised, really. She did strike me as genuine, but then so did some of the others whose singing voice differs from their everyday speech. I'm also new to Emmy Lou, so I'll look out for her. Tho I cant imagine anyone of this class to be as preferable to my taste as Iris. & i'm from the coast, unaccustomed to country music & western twang

[@PrismRisen]

Well done Rich. Fine collection of meaningful photos to go with a great song.

[@1958wvpicker]

Howdy Rich Excellent video she's a great singer stay cool Rich

I met Iris in an airport in the early 90's and she seemed truly surprised that anyone would recognize her. Very humble, and sweet.

[@barbarah.7814]

Where is Paragould? I dont know, Im from EU- Slovenia. Please let me know. My great wish is that Iris come in EU some time soon!

[@eekowarrior]

Iris moved from there when 3 years old when her family moved away from Arkansas ! First to LA suburb and now up in Ohio? Peter Turner. England.

This album is from 1998, not 1988 (Iris DeMent was not active in 1988).

[@reforest4fertility]

You'd wonder if she puts it on, or if she actually talks like that. At least that's what I'm wondering, cuz I know singers whose singing voice is quite different from their personal talking voice. Hmmm, should we trust her in professional interview. I've faved a # of her songs. Been listening to her for a few weeks & only now am considering this

[@saracaramittisongwriter]

story of my life.

[@colbyburkhart7289]

Amazing

Tom T. Hall is alive and well...

[@jdpru6925]

This girl grows on ya - like a fine single malt scotch.

[@michaelwige5598]

[@letthewindblowme2593]

Great version of the old Tom T Hall song. She is so great, she sing is farther off the beat than Willie Nelson does

[@jonhenson5450]
