Let The Mystery Be (Iris DeMent cover)

Let The Mystery Be (Iris DeMent)

My band and me covering a wonderful ‪Iris DeMent song from her ’92 album Infamous Angel. I first heard of this song when ‪Natalie Merchant‬ and 10,000 Maniacs covered it on MTV Unplugged and released it on their 2004 album “Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure and Unknown Recordings of 10,000 Maniacs” with David Byrne joining on vocals. It was also the main title theme to The Leftovers Season 2 and series finale!
