Summary: Iris Dement joins host David Dye on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. The Arkansas artist's heartfelt songs, like "Our Town," were unlike anything else being released by a major label when Dement debuted in the early '90s. Her brand new album, Sing The Delta, is her first set of original material since she stopped recording sixteen years ago. In this interview, Dement talks about the slow process of writing the new collection after such a long break, and she'll discuss her southern roots and how they've influenced her music.
