You can be sure that we are quite proud of them.

Iris DeMent on YouTube Iris DeMent estate, I've talked about Iris DeMent on this blog before, and I make no apologies for doing so. After attending her performance in Lake Placid on May 2, 2008, I took another look at YouTube to see what Iris DeMent material was there. I was delighted to see a lot more songs than had been available the last time I looked. So I've put together the best of the videos and you can see them all here via this player. I hope you enjoy the music of Iris DeMent, and the music of some of the other performers .
