Josephine Foster is a Colorado song-writer and poet whose music plays games with our ideas of time and space. The Nashville Scene describes her work a "fusion of art song and American folk music" and she is "known to breathe new life into archaic forms, embodying the cultural archaeology of Harry Smith’s old weird America, and has lent her characteristic mezzo-soprano and interpretive wit to over two decades of recordings" (Blank Forms).

You might call Ms. Foster's eerie warbling old-fashioned, except that it evokes a scrambled past that exists only in her own vision: mountain songs that never were, spaced-out hybrids that never will be. - The New York Times
