Josh Ritter’s fourth album, So Runs The World Away, is another amazing example of Ritter’s songwriting ability. This album is a comfortable step from The Historical Conquests because it continues the progression from the acoustic songs of Animal Years to more rock and roll inspired melodies and instrumentals.
The song topics and storytelling quality is still some of the best available from current artists. Stories of mummified love affairs, hellish love affairs, and grandiose adventures to find new worlds pepper the album. What makes Ritter albums so great is that the listener can choose to tune out and just enjoy the vocals and musical support or they can choose to really tune it and hear amazing tales.
The whole album can be streamed from Npr.org but I highly suggest you make this a permanent addition to any catalogue.
And go see him live every chance you get...
