 Notes  
     One of the most celebrated country-folk performers of her day,
     singer/songwriter Iris DeMent was born on January 5, 1961, in rural
     Paragould, Arkansas, the youngest of 14 children. At the age of three, her
     devoutly religious family moved to California, where she grew up singing
     gospel music; during her teenaged years, however, she was first exposed to
     country, folk, and R&B, drawing influence from Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash,
     Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell. Upon graduating high school, she relocated to
     Kansas City to attend college.
     Like "Infamous Angel", "My Life" opens on a light note, which is hardly
     adequate preparation for the emotional turbulence that follows. The album
     is dedicated to DeMent's father, who passed away prior to its release, and
     although there are some scattered moments of joy here, they are largely
     absorbed by a collection of songs dealing with primal anguish and longing.
     DeMent's writing has hardened a bit, producing her most mature and
     encompassing song in "No Time to Cry," which serves as an anchor for the
     album's rich sentimentality and is also an indication, in its social
     obsessions, of the direction her next album would take.
     Elsewhere, DeMent's songcraft remains exceptional but, as before, the true
     magic is in her voice, which imbues even the simplest songs with perfect,
     pure emotion. Highlights include Maybelle Carter's "Troublesome Waters,"
     "Easy's Gettin' Harder Every Day," and a terrific rendition of Lefty
     Frizzell's "Mom and Dad's Waltz." The gorgeous title track closes the
     album, a piano-cello duet that is one of her most moving performances. For
     those who appreciate DeMent's rough-hewn voice, it is nearly impossible to
     exaggerate the beauty of these recordings.
