With The Way I Should, Iris DeMent stepped boldly into new territory, delivering a collection that balanced her fierce lyrical conviction with tender vulnerability. Released in 1996, this third studio album from the revered Americana singer-songwriter expanded on her folk and country roots, blending sharp political commentary with deeply personal storytelling. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Iris Dement's album Yep Roc Records is releasing the album on vinyl for the first time.
