Subject: Lyr Add: THE SHORES OF JORDAN (Iris DeMent) From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Jun 00 - 10:10 PM This item came to me on a tape of a tape from a friend of a friend and I recalled Joe Offer asking for bluegrass hymns.
More info on the artist or author would be appreciated. I will post chords when I have them done unless someone beats me to it. It's a snappy little thing, and very bluegrassy. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Dance the Shores of Jordan From: Margaret V Date: 28 Jun 00 - 11:05 PM Praise, the song is written by Iris DeMent, one of my favorite singers (and songwriters)! In fact I suggested "Shores of Jordan" recently in the "Funeral Tunes, Songs That Heal" thread. It's on her second album, "My Life," released in 1994. She's got two other albums: "Infamous Angel" (1992) and "The Way I Should" (1996), and she's done a lot of work with other musicians as well. Much (though not all) of her work has that old-time quality to it that you can hear on "Shores of Jordan." She's incredibly expressive and to tell the truth it's impossible for me to get through one of her concerts without the impact of her beautiful voice making me cry. I suspect you'd like her very much, based (flimsily, I know) on your posts. . . Anyway you might like to visit her website which is www.irisdement.com. Margaret |
