Let the Mystery Be - Iris Dement

In the Transatlantic Sessions, one person stood out for me: Iris Dement has that elusive combination of lyrical grace, a distinctive voice and a beautiful, caring soul. The songs she writes are so broad that she is listed as Pop rather than Country, which is fine by me, for I don't much care for pigeonholes, as the selection of music on this blog might suggest... let the mystery be.
