Editorial Reviews

On her transcendent new record, Workin' On A World, Iris DeMent faces the modern world — as it is right now — with its climate catastrophe, pandemic illness, and epidemic of violence and social injustice — and not only asks us how we can keep working towards a better world, but implores us to love each other, despite our very different ways of seeing. 1.

Gobsmacking unique and a great album!

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

This album is meant for our times of trouble these days. Ms. DeMent lets it all hang out and expresses her feelings and dismay about so much of what is going on in the US at the moment. Love this album! A++++

Another treasure

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2023

Verified Purchase

I wait with great anticipation for every album Iris shares. I'm glad she lingers until she feels she has something compelling to say, which she certainly does in this album. The title track, "Working On a World" is a shot-in-the-arm for those of us worried about the state of our country and of the world. She reminds us that all generations worried and worked to make things better, knowing they would likely not live to see much improvement. I find the song very comforting. All the songs are wonderful, but several others really stand out for me. "Mahalia" is Iris' tribute to Mahalia Jackson. There is also a tribute to John Lewis and the protestors at the Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday called "Warriors of Love" and a tribute to MLK called "How Long". Each is a reminder of the need for all of us to "work on the world". It always helps me to "worship in Iris Dement's church".

Finally with the fantastic success of this glorious album, Iris is being recognized for being a great artist. She has extended her tour, and if she is coming your way, and if it is not too late, get a ticket.

I have been a fan for many years. Her latest offering is impactful. I enjoy all of the songs and Workin' on a World (I may not live to see) inspires me to stay involved and not lose hope for the future of our country. thanks for a ray of optimism, Iris!

Iris DeMent sings essays

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I wish I could join the chorus of those who appreciate Workin' on a World. Frankly, I had hoped for more nuanced lyrics. Although I'm in political agreement with the album, much of it seems too obvious. Her earlier The Way I Should also has political content, but the writing there is sharper; at times it even displays a sense of humor. Her distinctive voice here also seems unsuited for some of these thoughts. The ideas here are essentially essays more than they are songs.

An instant classic album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

The quality of Iris Dement’s music has been consistently high since her 1992 debut Infamous Angel, recognised by Rolling Stone as a country music classic. But this, her seventh album over 30 years, equals the quality of that debut.
It is also includes the most uptempo and uplifting music she has ever recorded, mixing exuberant country-gospel with tender wispy ballads - all with glorious melodies. She has never sung or played piano better in her life.
But that’s only half the story of Working On A World. Its lyrics are a call for political and social action to protect democracy and civil society from the cancer of hate, greed and authoritarianism. Drawing upon the bravery and impact of past and current political activists, Dement seeks to convince us that the struggle will prevail and does so in the most joyful way.
At no point does the message overpower the glorious music. But it does signal that this is music that matters.
An instant classic that will be recognised as such.

Il grande ritorno di Iris DeMent

Reviewed in Italy on April 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

Erano più di dieci anni che non ascoltavo un nuovo disco di Iris DeMent, dal magnifico "Sing The Delta", quello che è probabilmente il suo capolavoro. Iris è sempre stata un corpo estraneo al music business, ha sempre percorso un suo personale percorso che dal grande successo (anche commerciale) degli anni novanta, l'ha poi vista allontanarsi da un mondo che evidentemente non le appartiene fino in fondo. Solo sette dischi in trent'anni parlano da soli. E' quindi con piacere e sorpresa che "Workin' On a World" torna a far parlare di lei. Un album lungo, oltre un'ora, con tredici pezzi che la DeMent ha scritto quasi completamente da sola, cercando di portare luce e amore in un mondo che, anche per i noti eventi, è diventato improvvisamente buio e feroce. Lo racconta proprio nel primo pezzo, la bella canzone che titola il disco, dove, quasi persa, triste e depressa, si rende conto che invece c'è ancora da lavorare per lasciare un mondo migliore a chi verrà dopo di lei, di noi, e questa forza permea tutte le canzoni del disco, trasformato in un inno alla positività e alla speranza, cantato con la sua tipica voce, che non ha perso assolutamente nulla, alta e acuta, come se stesse cantando degli inni sacri. Prodotto a Nashville, con pochi ma bravissimi musicisti alle spalle, compresi alcuni fiati, la DeMent non perde quel suo passo "roots", profondamente sudista, fra The Band, specialmente quando unisce il suo pianoforte, sempre presente, ai fiati, e a Dylan, come nella lunga ballata "Goin' Down To Sing In Texas", pura epica dylaniana anni settanta. Forse, però, tredici pezzi sono troppi, qualcuno passa via senza lasciare un gran segno, ma glielo si perdona, visto che è una cantautrice che pubblica veramente poco. Un album importante, di quelli che segnano una stagione: Iris DeMent non è una qualunque, ha molto da dire e lo dice, ha molto da suonare e lo suona, fregandosene altamente di inseguire una qualunque classifica. Personaggio unico nella musica americana. Preziosa, come questo disco.

Country, folk, blues. Dire que ce nouvel album de Iris Dement est superbe est un pléonasme. Chaque CD de cette compositrice, auteure, interprète est un bijou. Celui-ci n'échappe pas à la règle. Si vous l'écoutez vous comprendrez ce que je veux dire !
