released her best record to date, <em>My Life. <\/em>Iris was the 14th child born (in Arkansas) to the Dement family.\u00a0 The family moved to California for a while before Iris moved to Kansas City and then to Nashville.\u00a0 Iris hides nothing in her songs, and her vocals channel a deeper source.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to pick just one song amongst a handful of Dement&#8217;s real country
