Remastered by Mike Westbrook of MW Audio! Iris DeMent released Infamous Angel in 1992. Nearly 30 years later, the album remains among the most singular and fully realized singer-songwriter debuts since the invention of that category in the early ’70s. The abiding strengths of the album are especially impressive, even a bit startling, because 1992 is not a moment usually associated with her intimate brand of acoustic country music. In country history, the year 1992 is most immediately affiliated with Garth Brooks, whose album The Chase topped both the country and pop album charts that year, and with Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart,” which fueled a line dance craze. Squeezed into a playlist alongside such hits, DeMent’s doleful, hushed “Our Town” would’ve sounded as if it were being broadcast from another planet. “People call me country,” she told journalist Ben Thompson while on tour in Britain a couple years later. “But country doesn’t call me country.” Let’s call her country. The genre is always more expansive than what radio stations program. It happened Infamous Angel is close kin to a different sort of country music that was just then having a moment: specifically, country singer-songwriters, focusing on personal, but universal, loss and hope and favoring small acoustic combos. It may have been out of step with the mainstream, but Infamous Angel arrived right on time. A remarkable debut, Infamous Angel established Iris DeMent as one of the greatest artists of her generation. With her gift for poignant, confessional songwriting and a voice that makes raw beauty seem like a brand new thing, she invokes the elemental magic of the Carter Family while sounding as fresh and modern as John Prine…this is an album to be cherished and played as long as one has life to listen. -Jim Smith, AllMusic.com, 5/5 stars Artist Iris DeMent Genre Americana / Country Label Yep Roc Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Let the Mystery Be These Hills Hotter Than Mojave in My Heart When Love Was Young Our Town Fifty Miles of Elbow Room Infamous Angel Sweet Forgiveness After You've Gone Mama's Opry Higher Ground Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Iris DeMent and more from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Iris DeMent Infamous Angel (30th Anniversary Edition) – Indie Exclusive Coloured Vinyl Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iris DeMent Infamous Angel (30th Anniversary Edition) – Indie Exclusive Coloured Vinyl £24.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2561LEIEC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Hiss Golden Messenger Quietly Blowing It Americana / Country | Merge Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 25th June 2021 £20.00 - £21.00 Select options Hiss Golden Messenger Quietly Blowing It £20.00 - £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Merge Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Select options Matt's picks View Product Quick View Jade Jackson Wilderness Americana / Country | Epitaph | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th June 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jade Jackson Wilderness £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Epitaph SKU: 8714092761610 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison (SACD) Americana / Country | Mobile Fidelity | SACD Released 31st August 2024 £37.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison (SACD) £37.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: CMFSA2272 Formats: SACD Released Date: 31st August 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Giant Sand The Sun Set Volume 1 Americana / Country | Fire Records | 8LP, Box Set Released 1st September 2017 £51.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Giant Sand The Sun Set Volume 1 £51.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Fire Records SKU: FAME007LP Formats: 8LP, Box Set Released Date: 1st September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nickel Creek Why Should The First Die?
