Elvis Presley died 33 years ago today. To mark the date here is a 1985 video of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins singing "We Remember the King". Of these four only Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive. I guess his last album was appropriately titled Last Man Standing.

Iris Dement
It has been several weeks since I posted anything on this blog. I am going to try to start back up again, beginning with some videos from Iris Dement. I have include Iris in the John Prine - Duets post, and Emmylou Harris - Trios post. But this is mostly Iris Dement solos.
"Whole Lot of Heaven" - I don't think this song has been released on any of her albums.
Here Iris sings a Steve Goodman song, "He's Not You". This also gives me an opportunity to mention that earlier this week Obama sign a law renaming a Post Office in Chicago after Goodman.
In this video Jacqui Abbott sing Iris' song "You've Done Nothing Wrong".
Here is a video from the closing of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival a couple years ago. Iris singing "Old Fashion Love".
