{"product_id":"infamous-angel","title":"Infamous Angel","description":"\u003cp\u003eIris DeMent released \u003ci\u003eInfamous Angel\u003c\/i\u003e in 1992 - nearly 30 years later, the album remains among the most singular and fully realised singer-songwriter debuts since the invention of that category in the early '70s. The abiding strengths of the album are especially impressive - even a bit startling - because 1992 is not a moment usually associated with her intimate brand of acoustic country music. In country history, the year 1992 is most immediately affiliated with Garth Brooks, whose album, \u003ci\u003eThe Chase\u003c\/i\u003e, topped both the country and pop album charts that year, and with Billy Ray Cyrus' 'Achy Breaky Heart,' which fuelled a line dance craze. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSqueezed into a playlist alongside such hits, DeMent's doleful, hushed 'Our Town' would've sounded as if it were being broadcast from another planet. 'People call me country,' she told journalist Ben Thompson while on tour in Britain a couple years later. 'But country doesn't call me country.' Let's call her country. The genre is always more expansive than what radio stations program. It happened \u003ci\u003eInfamous Angel\u003c\/i\u003e is close kin to a different sort of country music that was just then having a moment: specifically, country singer- songwriters, focusing on personal, but universal, loss and hope and favouring small acoustic combos. It may have been out of step with the mainstream, but \u003ci\u003eInfamous Angel\u003c\/i\u003e arrived right on time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yep Roc","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50401519108427,"sku":"1170247","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown | LP","offer_id":50401519763787,"sku":"1170248","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50401518289227,"sku":"1170246","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0a5af97b-4fac-4944-b962-231513f8a514_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726524399","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/infamous-angel","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
