No, I'm not really having one. But you can here, where you can stream the Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter. No kidding.Thanks to Turn the Page for letting me on to this track off the new album, I think Ritter played this song when he came to Oberlin last year. If you get on his mailing list and buy your concert tickets in advance you get an mp3 from the new album - I don't think this is very fair because there's no Oberlin date yet, and he always comes to play there being his ruggedly handsome, beard-sporting alumni self.

I can't decide how I feel about what I've heard from the album, I'm going to have to listen to it more.
Update: You can also see Josh Ritter's performance at the Verbier Festival here, just click on July 24th (the video quality is really great).

Give TGH a thumbs up!
Cheers for the plug, and glad you enjoyed the article. I'm really enjoying the new Josh Ritter album, glad everyone else is receptive to it as well.

I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it yet, I'm mostly absorbing...
