Max Estes
Perhaps the sweetest heartbreak ever put to music. DeMent's original delivers sustained pause. Ashworth's cover reminds us just how tempting it can be to lean into a punch to the gut. Haunting and beautiful.

about
A few months back, I was talking with my friend Mike about our shared affection for My Life by Iris DeMent, an album also dearly loved by Mike's partner, Meg. I told Mike that track 8, "Easy's Gettin' Harder Every Day," was one of my favorite songs to play on the piano. Mike asked if I'd record a cover as a surprise for Meg's birthday. So, I did it. Happy birthday, Meg!

Bought my 1st Mt Goats cassette in 1993?94? from Shrimper -- direct. Best song? "Going To Chino." Been deeply in love w/ Mr. Darnielle since. And this new one's going on my Best of 2020 List. You done the pagans proud, kind sir. Otis Nugatory

One of Ashworth's best albums, the storytelling and music has something so frank about it that makes it feel so real. Just a really great listen. (The physical release is very high quality, good good stuff.) clintyeastwood
