Iris DeMent singing Pretty Saro from Songcatcher

'The SongCatcher' is based on a true story and is about a musicologist in the early 1900s, staying in the Appalachians and collecting their songs. Not the greatest film of all time, but a must see for anyone who loves their toons...

    He makes it look easy to get a smooth sound from a fiddle.

    I'm half ashamed to say I ADORE songcatcher! I know it's a bit ordinary as filminess goes, but sheesh ... such fabby ethnomusicologology!

    just had a quick listen to iris' "our town" while at the toob place. instant flashback to final episode of 'northern exposure' ... tears galore :(

    yep, have loved iris' music for long long time at our house. our town :P

    and loved northern exposure for just as long :D
