Josh Ritter!! Wholeheartedly agree. So Runs The World Away is prob his second best album, behind Animal Years. ‘Folk Bloodbath,’ ‘Change of Time,’ ‘The Curse’ – fuck, almost every song on the album is pitch-perfect (except ‘Lark’ – woof, big misstep there).

It is strange – his lack of love on the interwebs. The Frames, Andrew Bird, Swell Season, even Stephen King heap praises on the guy, and people don’t even know who he is. (“wait – John Ritter does music?”)

But I see a long, fruitful career in the future for Mr. Ritter, so here is hoping he gets every good thing he deserves.
