Morning Aural: Josh Ritter

Moscow, Idaho native Josh Ritter is constantly in rotation on our playlist, so it was only a matter of time before he showed up as a Morning Aural. “The Temptation of Adam”, from last year’s release The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter is a deft combination of clever lyrics and emotional honesty. If you find yourself in Cork, Ireland next July 4th, Ritter will be performing at the Marquee, accompanied by a 24-piece orchestra.

How Guthriesque with a retro 80′s paranoia. So fresh.

I have been hugged by this man. I just wanted to brag. HUGGED. Not even a half hug, a hug hug!

Josh Ritter is so charming in concert he seems twice as good as he already is. He looks genuinely happy to be on stage the entire time. It’s incredibly, incredibly refreshing.

JOSH! I’ve been a fan since Golden Age of Radio and have had the extreme honor and delight of meeting Josh several times. A genuine human being with a real soul and talent that is obvious to all who come across his work…Thanks Queerty for putting the word out about my favorite musician!
