Josh Ritter's Animal Years

I posted about Josh Ritter one month ago and am doing so again because his new album, The Animal Years, is so ridiculously good. Ritter's songwriting skills propelled him into Paste Magazine's 100 Best Living Songwriter's List, and he was included in the magazine's latest music sampler (#22). If you want to listen a little before investing in his album, stream Josh's set from Morning Becomes Eclectic and check out the tracks below. A musician that sometimes sounds like Springsteen and other times rambles like Dylan, Josh Ritter writes great music and even better lyrics. I highly recommend this album - Girl in the War is one of the best songs I've heard this year.
