Do you remember the haunting, slow version of "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" from the Coen Brothers' recent remake of True Grit? (the one where some people said: why did she sing it like that?)

That was Iris Dement. And that answer is: Because that's Iris Dement's natural voice.

Thanks for the suggestions, warnings, and advice! I knew Nanci Griffith was a major leftie ... we used to live in Texas, too.

I aspire to Emmylou Harris-ness, as a vocalist. Also Patty Loveless.

I didn’t watch the remake of “True Grit.” Actually, it was all I could do to watch the original. As a “swan song” for the Duke, it sucked. Not one of his better movies. IMHO. For what it’s worth...
