The Way I Should marks a bold chapter in Iris DeMent’s celebrated career, blending her unmistakable voice with a fuller, contemporary sound. Released in 1996, this third studio album finds DeMent balancing sharp political commentary and deeply personal storytelling, expanding on her folk and country roots with fearless conviction.
Remastered and pressed on vinyl for the first time in honor of its 30th anniversary, The Way I Should remains one of DeMent’s most compelling and relevant works. Featuring memorable collaborations and themes that resonate as much today as they did decades ago, this release is a true testament to her enduring artistry.
