From 'down under', we have the same BIG problems and Iris brings many of these into focus. In Australia successive governments have created intrusive legislation which have achieved only two things. Greater govt power over the people, and less sensible education to inform the people of the facts. Thanks to Iris and a few of her contempories, 'we the people' are being educated about the decline of true democracy and the rise of total govt control of our lives. Totaltaerism, fascismsm and dictatorship are very much alive in our respective governments. Thankyou from my heart, Iris Dement - champion of free discussion and free speech.

If I were a songwriter that's exactly what I would have wrote because it's exactly how I feel also although I am glad Iris wrote it and sign it because she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in any female singer 👍👏
Fine , Fine cover........and I've no doubt that Iris would enjoy this. Many years ago 25 ?....esp. here in U.K. folk were deriding Iris as a hill-billy hick , and I'd be pointing out to them, and telling them she's about the bravest singer-songwriter around then. Sorry this comment's turned into a de Ment thing.........I admire this from you and quality vocal & guitar, with the best message...

Yes I remeber hearing this year's ago...around the time as our Slim Dusty passed away. I remember dropping a tear or two. These lyrics are so true.❤
This song is so true to the toxic world we now live in!
Your version of" God walks the Dark Hills", is a masterpiece..Your beautiful voice is so unique.
Excellent work
Thanks girl. Good stuff.
