Our Town, Iris DeMent cover

I had never heard this song before, and it came on while I was driving out of Los Angeles a few days ago. I lived there for a while, and though I'm glad I don't anymore, hearing this song with those hills in the rearview sure brought up a lot of emotion! Not to mention it's a perfect country song. And when I got home, I found a video of Iris singing it with Emmylou! Here's my interpretation while it's still fresh. Thanks for watching!

Gosh, I love this song by Iris so much and you absolutely nailed it. Beautiful, beautiful. You are such a talent!

Nice. Beautiful rendition of Iris song..
Been almost 30 years since I first heard this song on a sitcom show named 'Northern Exposure' that ended in 1995.
Sadly enough.. was also the last episode of the show.. ending with the song playing the final moments of the show. I remember it fondly.

[@tennesseekamanski]

Thank you! I'll have to check out Northern Exposure.

[@samueldavis2327]

One of the great shows in that era. I loved it!
It was placed in Cicily, Alaska, but was actually filmed in Roslyn Washington.

The characters in that show were so complex in ways that rarely occur in American media. Loved it!

I love this song I couldn't believe it when she started singing perfect cover💖

[@tennesseekamanski]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@chriswatson8648]

Absolutely exceptional cover of a classic song.

[@tennesseekamanski]

Thank you so much! Seriously such a good song.

What a kind and beautiful sentiment! Thank you :)

Oh wow , just stumbled across this by accident while searching for another iris song , you have a huge new fan here ,

[@tennesseekamanski]

Yay!! Thank you so much :)

Beautifully done. I would love to hear you do "Let The Mystery Be" by the same artist. Iris Dement's voice is something truly special and unique so I didn't expect somebody to pull it off. Usually in my head it's either there or it's not and you absolutely succeeded. This is not my "Go-To" type of music but I just listened to this whole video like I was in church. That's saying something if you could see it from my own point of view. Again, very well done. I'll have to check out some more of your music. Thank you for that. Have a great day and God Bless.

Find you a girl that sings Iris DeMent with all the pain and personality.
Dunno what else you'd need. Come home and just melt every night to your own songbird.

Maybe tone down the stylized breathy twang just a wee bit? Your voice is beautiful and unique enough without forcing a singing style. Make it your own.

[@tennesseekamanski]

I admit it's hard not to turn an Iris cover into a bit of a character study! Her voice is so fascinating. Thank you so much, I appreciate your sweetness and honest observation :)

[@akfisher7138]

hey just do what you want...it is you singing, not random youtube bloke.😊

[@gatorcock79]

Very good. Sounds a lot like Iris.

[@tennesseekamanski]

Thank you!! Listening to Iris has helped me to embrace the brightness in my voice. :)
