IRIS DEMENT & THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH - JOOLS

the beautiful south's jacqueline abbott sings iris' 'you've done nothing wrong' with iris on guitar and vocal harmonies. from the beautiful south concert special on 'later with jools holland' broadcast 1997

[@Johnwillbegone]

This has got to be one of the most underrated performances of all time. Jackie just nailed it.

[@326kjk]

Iris DeMent is simply a musical Shakespeare with a voice that evokes all the happiness and pain we experience in life. And as for Jacqueline's rendition, well they've "done nothing wrong"...

[@jibjab351]

A special moment, Jackie and Iris singing together.

[@markhorn4438]

I promise to continue to listen to Iris's songs until I can stop crying long enough to truly appreciate them. If you ever doubted that all humans experience the same joy and heartbreaks just listen to Iris's song and they will hit touch your very soul and trigger your deepest emotions.

[@stevenbrown5073]

Jacqui abbot has a truly wonderfully voice

[@Roundhead70024]

I wish people didn't grow old!! Iris Dement is awesome!!!! love her

[@acmedata]

Iris Dement's lyrics so full of passion and honesty.

[@rmleighton1]

Beautifully moving. How can sad feel so good?

[@stephenmorrison2520]

Jacqui Abbots voice is beautiful, she can make an ordinary song wonderful

[@ashrach18]

Jacqueline Abbot.beautiful girl.beautiful country voice.If only she would release an album, this is pure gold.

[@tonycoote]

I'd only ever heard Iris do this song, and I've always loved it. Then I found this version - it made me weep. Thank you sooooo very much.

[@valverdista]

I never heard this before, Jacqueline Abbott go to America and the Opry is all your´s, what a fabulous country singer you are.

[@stevedavies7443]

just enjoy two great voices singing a song brilliantly

[@rogerstephenson5876]

A fabulous soleful duet by a talented pair, there must be many many people out there for whome the song speaks volumes.

[@victoredwards0530]

Wonderful tribute to Iris. Thanks, guys! The only person who does this better is standing on the stage with you. We love her -- and you too.

[@weeweelegs]

two song birds, beautiful

[@Kingdweebs]

Iris is such an unassuming, low key, non-threatening person always willing to play the supportive role. It is a wonder that she has survived so long in this egomaniacal industry. I love her voice. Looking forward to her show in Montreal on Sunday

[@pembertonsmithmusic1986]

Could not be happier when I saw my two favourite artists calibrating, fabulous stuff.

[@jimdoe1137]

Jacqueline absolutely nails this. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Such soulful singing.

[@walterhickey5030]

This is just beautiful

[@steveroberts8719]

I recall when Iris first appeared on the scene. I saw her perform in and around Los Angeles: McCabes, Troubador, and many other venures. First heard her on KPFK's "Heartfelt Music". And boy did I have a crush on her. Wanted to date her but alas I was born deficient of the Music DNA. She still looks great. Can't even tell you what is meant by vocal harmonies.

[@juneconyard4328]

beautiful combination of two lovely singers

[@jonacris333]

Outstanding , totally faultless

[@topgazza]

Not forgetting Iris...who always delivers with that haunting voice. As a pairing it doesn't get much better

[@deggsymarley]

always makes me stop what I'm doing listen to every word

[@regperren9107]

How fabulous is this,

[@kevinbraidwood7487]

As good if not not better...absolutely gorgeous take

[@jibjab351]

2 fantastic voices which complement each other.

[@RICARDO13158]

Absolutely brilliant !

[@dobunniboy]

Saw Iris in Denver once on Colfax Ave while going to Metro State - she's a treat for sure. Especially if you come from a little farm and relate to her lyrics.

[@gurlsingerfan]

What a beautiful rendition, you can hear the great high lonesome "hill country" of Iris echoed in it perfectly...wonderful job.

[@Mr_Ed.]

St. Helen's finest. Right there. ^^^

[@ochjim]

Lovely song and terrific live vocals by Jacqui Abbot . . .

[@bobwesolowski852]

Iris is in Cincinnati tomorrow night and I got my tickets. Can't wait

[@robjrice]

Just Brilliant...

[@paulcunliffe4434]

stunningly beautiful

[@laurenfern]

I accidentally lost this track from my computer, and it is sooooooooooooooo nice to hear it again, and not just that but see it!!!

[@topgazza]

Gorgeous...no other word. both the vocals and the woman. Come back Jackie we all miss your magnificent voice

[@peterkane8786]

First time hearing this,,,,, it's beautiful.

[@user-vz2ug3uk8d]

Iris is certainly an icon of country music. However, Jacqui’s version of this song to me sounds incredible. She even had to spy on the lyrics notes every now and then but sang it like it was all her song. This will be one of my favorites for ever!

[@imbluepete]

Iris and Jacquie - both top singers

[@37lucyjordan37]

Jackie is just fantastic, whatever she sings....

[@pedalman]

Iris has the voice to tear you heart out when singing this song, Jacqueline although a great voice just cant put the emotion into this that it requires she just sings the words. It takes something else , something special to get deep into the emotions of country lyrics.

[@martykcampbell4451]

I have always loved this song by Iris. First time to hear this version. Iris and Jacqueline nail it even better.

[@GerhardRauniak]

I wish jacqeline abott would sing more Iris Dement songs.

[@johnburke8667]

I wish she would just sing more full stop.

[@AuntieTgirl]

Crikey - This song is the only reason I know of Iris, whereas I've played beautiful south to death - and this is FAB!

[@maggiemorrissey494]

What lovely voices xx

[@NZCountryMusic]

Once again a thank you both Jacqueline, & Iris. I have enjoyed well sung Country songs all my life, and heard, and seen many performer's. In my book you are at the top of all. Thank's once again RockyDon H Come on down to little New Zealand sometime, we'd love to have you for a song and a cuppa

[@ashrach18]

This just gets better every time I watch it, Jacqui just gets better and more beautiful by the minute.

[@johnab7]

What a lovely voice. Beautiful song. Thanks for posting.

[@danielhuber4953]

Iris Dement. What a name to fight on. I Know nothing better LOVE

[@davidbarnett1740]

GREAT---really great ,,, Wonderful voice ... but I'm hooked on Iris.

[@jamesconroy6078]

Beautiful, sad” but Beautiful. ❤

[@coulmore2010]

2 excellent singers

[@slamarine]

I had forgotten how much I enjoy Iris DeMent--her CDs are in a case I've misplaced (duh). This is also the first time I've heard "Jackie" or The Beautiful South recording session -- amazing talent here!

[@kwil3400]

Very beautiful and poignant - thanx

[@skeltonIRA]

Iris is fab almost burns like

[@mbbeard]

I feel touched by this song. It reminds me of something that I lost along time ago, but can't place what it was. I just remember the feeling.

[@Gapples007]

Boy they don't half complement each other do they, beautifully sung Jackie

[@jennykenyon001]

fantastic song,jacque sings it well.....brings a lot of memories back....a real tear magnet this song love it.

[@geoecobks]

I find it kind of remarkable that Jackie can sing this so well and with such deep feeling, and yet she needs to look down at the words / music in front of her .... It sounds so smooth & natural, like it was practiced many times before.

[@jaygatsby1]

I sing a bit.......not as good as Jackie........but still. Anyway.......when my buddy and I are roughing out a tune it seems like our first take is often our best. There's that slight hint of something new and fresh..........maybe it's uncertainty...........that makes the result more pleasing to the ear.

[@andymcintyre65]

Beautiful song beautifully sung.

[@colynbarrett8127]

So so, talented. Great performance.

[@Gervoyage]

First time hearing this song.......and it wont be my last...beautiful voices....well done..

[@dantweedy]

Jacqui has such a beautiful voice. I am not partial to Iris' very branded voice, but she writes some wonderful songs.

[@driftinwest]

Thank you for this its so special beautiful vocals

[@sandstoney]

Some smart people out there, to put this together,,it is excellent, Thank you

[@Harriet1822]

[@garymaguire-wf1hd]

[@multicaruana]

Really tremendous!

[@colynbarrett2113]

Simply Stunning.!!!!!!!!

[@charleshenry1100]

I love them, the Song, Iris and Jaqueline

[@otherworldtrader1]

iris makes everyone look good. not that this lady needs it. she's a real class act herself

[@eeple200]

I agree with balmainguy's comment, just stumbled across this and was delighted. Thanks poster.

[@boomac62]

This happens all the time, it is in no way disrespectful. If it were I would be the first to say so because I LOVE Iris and have been a fan for many,many years. peace

[@Gangly1]

Jackie Abbott is a very versatile singer. I love the way she beats Iris Dement at her own game, while still having to read the words from a sheet handed to her 30 mins earlier. Yet she always looks uncomfortable with her own ability. I remember the BBC Jools Holland Special (from which this came) very well. Jackie did a great version of Loving Arms with a gospel choir. Please post it if you have it. Thanks for this.

[@dale2778]

balls! great big balls!

[@VICTORTASSIETIGER]

Another beautiful voice...

[@aliwhitwell]

Something special indeed! Thanks for posting.

[@flamencoprof]

What a hymn to divorce!

[@isambardhooper87]

This would and should be a hit

[@LookingEastChannel]

thanks for this excellent upload.

[@SarahJonestoo]

Fabulous vox from Jacqueline and from Iris.

[@genemathews86]

I read that Jacqui (I call her Jacqui) received the music score 30 minutes before the gig!!! Notice how she keeps looking down. Makes this remarkable performance incomparable!!!

[@Haven2U]

Makes me lonesome for something I think I had...but maybe I didn;'t,

[@petersl41]

Beautiful. Art at is very best.

[@taljechin]

The Beautiful South feat Iris DeMent - Bell Bottomed Tear - Later With Jools Holland BBC2 1997 (iTiUtfeqT9Y)

[@davidbarnett1740]

Never heard her before. Great voice.

[@MrFeatch]

I adore Jaqui Abbott.

[@MrFlatroofer]

Beautiful.

[@pedalman]

@aplainchristian I agree , Iris has the ability ( as George jones sang ) to tear your heart out when she sings, and it seems to be intrinsic in her, built deep in her soul, she is amazing .

[@sajidswindon]

I would not go as far as that but Jacquiline Aboot sounds superb.

[@LarDeanH]

Wow!!

[@flamencoprof]

I have a phrase which keeps surfacing in relation to Iris' work: It is "Rips your heart out".

[@Gangly1]

@Veee8 I rarely make wonderful observations while playing Poker at the same time!! I have huge respect for her unassuming nature and tremendous talent. I just found Loving Arms (but the cd version) . Still v v good. It is in my favs if you can't find it. Cheers.

[@tmertens8172]

a sweet balm for the heart.

[@aprillear4537]

Nice song

[@kevinmartin296]

TOTALLY AGREE! 100% JOCK
