Where a musician lives can tell you a lot about their songs. Joan Shelley wears her love of Kentucky proudly, but for her latest album, 'Like The River Loves The Sea', Shelley left her home outside of Louisville, Ky., and headed to a very different environment: Iceland. Iceland presented its own opportunities and difficulties. Shelley found a wonderful string section that lends a lot of weight to the record, but apparently it's hard to find a banjo in Iceland. There may or may not be a single one in the whole country, but Shelley made the most of it with this beautiful and restrained album. We'll talk to her and her musical partner, Nathan Salsburg, about recording in Iceland and the very powerful nature of natural love.
