Let's Pretend is the long-awaited album featuring Ellen herself singing from the Ellen Vanderslice Songbook. Eleven selections by this talented singer-songwriter are included on the CD, along with one Gershwin tune. Ellen is accompanied by some of Portland's finest jazz talent: Tony Pacini and Greg Goebel take turns at the piano; Phil Baker covers bass and produced the album; Mike Horsfall, who co-wrote much of the music, plays vibes; Neil Masson plays drums; the inimitable Lee Wuthenow is featured on tenor sax; and Chris Miller sits in on steel guitar on "Down at the Goodwill" and "Why Am I the Last to Know?" Recorded with great pleasure at Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio in Portland, Oregon in the spring and summer of 2010; Mike Moore was the recording engineer.
