I’m an old man but when I heard her voice made me feel like a teenager that just heard an Angel singing. How could she not melt your heart & make you wish you had encountered her as a younger man. Could spent my life at least listening to that beautiful voice

Iris is a true American treasure! Her music is found deep in the heart of life around the American experience!!! Her lyrics are filled with the stories that will become traditional and iconic because of the raw truths they convey! Have been a loyal fan from the beginning, and will be one till I die! Love her forever!!!!

I am very content to have found Iris Dement. Her honest attitude and perfectly unfeigned way to make the music have convinced me.And see the musiciens around her: you can see how they enjoy playing with her. The harmony is perfect. These opportunities to make music together are beneficent to the soul of every one. I too enjoy every moment. Jyrki from Finland

This is probably her best performance of this song, never get tired of her unique voice, certainly an acquired taste!!

It's a toss up for me. I like the version from 7/5/14 where she plays piano. It's a different feel but a certain power there.

A classic beautiful voice. Her facial features remind me of Susie Bogus, one of my favorite American country singers. Great talent & a great band. Her style & voice are reminiscent of one of our icons, the great Emmy Lou Harris. Thanks for posting this.

Transatlantic Sessions 3 - bbc Scotland/Pelicula films/ rte I think. From about 2007 - Totally fantastic programs, as are the Season 1/2/4 & 5 sets too! My favourite music on the TV bar none!! Filmed in Scotland, the exact whereabouts I forget!

We don't got a prophet here to tell us what the future's gonna hold. We've only got each other and the love we carry in our souls. This old world's full of trouble; family love was never quite clear. There's a whole lot of heaven that's shining in this river of tears (2) If you pull back the curtain those diamond appear. You can have your streets of gold if you want 'em and your mansion so dear. There's a whole lot of heaven that's shining in this river of tears.

Iris is magnificent - I am a late comer to her music. Personally think Sing The Delta is one of the strongest albums I have heard for ratio of outstanding tracks since Blood On The Tracks. And like Dylan at his best, Iris emotes every word and lives every moment of a song

It's a pain, it's a strain, it's a struggle that I first afeared. There's a whole lot of heaven shining in this river of tears (2). If we pull back the curtain those diamonds appear.
