I have downloads and playlists stuffed with all the best latest releases, blind to genres and never influenced by fashion. As you can probably see from this site.
And then over the credits of another harrowing episode of Handmaids Tale comes the unmistakable voice of a long lost favourite, singing a breathtaking song you have never heard before.
We came across Iris Dement over 3 decades ago in the early days of satellite TV when we would switch between MTV and CMTV on our little Binatone telly. Hooked by “Our Town” we went straight out and bought the excellent “Infamous Angel”.
Ultimately, you just can’t beat the brilliance of a simple 25 year old, 2 verse folk song.
