It's Saturday, and it has been a nice day to sit back, take care of home projects, and listen to music, such as Iris DeMent's album "Infamous Angel." I first became aware of Iris when her song, "Our Town," was played at the closing moments of the final episode of the U.S. television series, Northern Exposure. It's a sad and soulful song, and it was perfect background for the ending of the show. Two years ago my husband and I saw Iris perform in Alexandria, Virginia, at the Birchmere, and she was great. She puts a lot of feeling and thought into her lyrics and I just love her voice.
