ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...a bittersweet collection of fist-clenched confessions...brooding ballads about regret, resignation and, ultimately, resolution...her abillity to write about intensely personal--and often painful--moments without romanticizing them shows that the wide-eyed farm girl...is now pondering issues that make the difference between healing and merely coping...", 6 - Good - "...when you get to hear the industrial strength, emotion and resilience...you know that Iris and her big heart will survive the very toughest of times...", "...DeMent's singing, with its pure mountain quality, sounds somewhat more confident now than on the first recording. So does her songwriting...", "...her outlook is cautious and unwaveringly bleak....MY LIFE is an aural chronicle of a breakdown, of a human being shattering into shards....No average country troubador, DeMent is a backwoods Emily Dickinson...." - Rating: A-, Ranked #3 in Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of '94' - "...Iris DeMent's preserved twang and suspended orchestrations unlock gospel and country for rock fans, offering unbreakable gentleness as a modern epiphany about rural values...", "...My Life Isn't Quite Diverse As Dement's Debut, but It's Every Bit As Powerful...", "...There are moments on MY LIFE that are so childishly wide-eyed, so emotionally true that they're almost heartbreaking....DeMent warbles her reminiscences in a voice so crystalline it might've risen from the church pews--or maybe a scratchy old Carter Family record....", Included on Stephen Holden's list of the Top 10 Albums Of '94 - "...Songs of love, loss and emotional survival that have the cutting simplicity and directness of classic country.", Ranked #18 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
