DeMent was inspired to write her first song “Our Town” by a drive through a boarded-up Midwest town, at the age of 25. The song lyrics came to her “exactly as it is now”, without need for re-writing, and she realized then that songwriting was her calling in life. “Our Town” was played during the closing scene for the final episode (July 26, 1995) of CBS’s television series Northern Exposure. The song has been recorded by Kate Rusby, Kate Brislin & Jody Stecher and Trampled by Turtles.
DeMent’s third album, The Way I Should, was released in 1996. Featuring the protest song “Wasteland of the Free”, it is DeMent’s most political work. It covers topics such as sexual abuse, religion, government policy, and Vietnam.
