Josh Ritter: Live

Soundcheck | Jul 23, 2010

Josh Ritter's recently released sixth album, So Runs the World Away, was created after many transitions for the singer-songwriter. The Idaho-born 33-year-old got married to fellow singer Dawn Landes and moved to New York. Musically, he hit a writer’s block unlike any he’d experienced before. He worked through it, and came up with an album inspired by science and history, nature and religion. Ritter joins us to perform a live acoustic set in the studio.

Playlist:

1. “Lantern”

2. Live Performance: “The Curse”  

3. Live Performance: “Rattling Locks”

4. “Change of Time”
