Just what I would expect from Iris!

Iris has given me hundred of hour of enjoyment. This album will do the same. Why some would expect anything less is a surprise to me. Cancel her if you must but her political stance is no surprise to me. She makes clear in the title track how she feels and I'm happy she said it. Tom Petty said it best " I'm not on the left, I'm not on the right. Not even sure if I have a dog in this fight". I don't agree with all her conclusions but I will never stop listening to what she has to say. If that were the case I'd feel it was nessasary to cancel Bob, Lucinda, Nanci, Jackson, Nina, Willie, etc, etc.... Recording were are original social media. That piano she plays everytime. She's been a good friend even if we never meet. Keep up the good work Iris!
Love Iris. But disappointed

I loved the CD Sing the Delta. If I could wear out a CD it would have been that one. Too much political put in this work.
What happened to your heart?

Her best work is the personal. She is way off track on her politics, and her music suffers for it. She's let the derangement affect her work. Sad.
Her Best Work

I absolutely love this album. The piano is awesome, lyrics are heartfelt, and it just makes me feel blessed to listen to it. I could listen to this all day and all night and never tire of it. In a world where most current music is crap and studio generated, it’s nice to know there are still true artists like Iris who can write and sing songs with conviction and truth.
Disappointing

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I really enjoy Iris Dement. Her voice is a treasure. And the songs she usually sings play to her strengths - but this album is full of clunkers. John Prine and Nanci Griffith are gone but there’s still SO many good songwriters out there these days. Why is their material not making it onto her album? Someone - either she or her management - is doing her career and her fans a real disservice.
Overproduced

Love Iris, but the production takes away from what she does best.
A gem

This entire recording is a beautiful and long awaited gem. I especially love her song, "Goin Down To Sing In Texas", despite what KRoss71 wrote in an earlier review.
