My Life, Americana trailblazer Iris DeMent's sophomore album, cemented her legacy as one of the nation's greatest living songwriters. Dedicated to her father, Patrick Shaw DeMent, who died in 1992, the album illustrates DeMent's razorsharp songwriting on originals like "Sweet Is the Melody," "No Time to Cry" and the title track. The songs "are jewels of universal longing" (Chicago Tribune) and "it is nearly impossible to exaggerate the beauty of these recordings." (AllMusic).
