Josh Ritter Live From Studio 1A – October 29, 2007
Idaho-born Josh Ritter bought his first guitar after hearing Dylan and Cash on “Girl from the North Country.” He released his debut in 1999, but it wasn’t until 2002s Golden Age of Radio when audiences began to take notice. After a tour of Ireland, his single “Me and Jiggs” made the Irish top 40 and subsequently made him a star along the Emerald Isle. Ritter’s fifth full-length The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter is expanded and more sophisticated with heavy layers of electric guitars and waves of brass and strings. Listen to Josh Ritter from a live performance on Music with Jay Trachtenberg.
