"I learned from this project that I don’t have just one voice, I have lots of voices, and they're all connected somehow," says DeMent. "Something happened on this record because the music wasn’t tied to a place from my past or my family history, but it was linked to my daughter by way of her cultural history. I realized writing these songs that I'm linked in some way to another world, as well, and I can hear it in the music, in the way I sang and the choices I made."
