Singer-Songwriter from Idaho Becomes Mother Banjo Fan

Josh Ritter had this to say about Mother Banjo's The Sad and the Found:

I've known Ellen Stanley a long time, but it was only recently that I met Mother Banjo. She has a spare voice that paints great vistas between the notes. Her music is honest, not trying to convince you of anything, sell you on a story or impress you. She simply gives you the space you need for reverie. This is music for looking off into the far distance, and I hope it affects you like it affects me.
