Name of musician interviewed on NPR recently?

I'm trying to remember the name of a female singer-songwriter who was interviewed on NPR recently (or at least I heard part of the interview a few weeks ago). She played a simple folk guitar style and her Quaker (pretty sure, definitely a philosophical Christian minority sect) faith was part of her writing inspiration.

If I had to guess (like I've been doing on Google) I'd think the name of her album was "A Biography of Light," but that doesn't seem to be correct. I don't know what NPR show she was being interviewed on, perhaps All Things Considered? She had a very nice song about appreciating every moment that I would like to hear again.

Best answer: Probably Carrie Newcomer - The Geography of Light

This may be the interview you heard.

Probably the wrong answer, but Iris DeMent, who grew up Pentecostal, gave a wonderful interview on Fresh Air recently. Her latest album is The Trackless Woods.
