Five-Star Fridays

Friday, March 5th, 2010

“Good Man,” by Josh Ritter. The Animal Years is one of my ten favorite albums. The perfect CD for a long drive. Almost perfect all-around.

    “Girl in the War” is my favorite song off that album. Now that I know you’re a Ritter fan, I want a post on your top 10 albums.

    I think my favorite is “Thin Blue Flame.”

    He has a new album coming out next month.

    Excellent. I’ve just spent an hour browsing his work on Grooveshark, and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this guy.

    (Currently listening to Come And Find Me from the self-titled album…)

    Very nice. Hope they have some of his stuff on eMusic. My subscription doesn’t run out until June!

    Found Josh Ritter a few years ago because of ‘Girl In The War’ – brilliant song smith.

    So good. His lyrics are usually fantastic. Love “The Temptation of Adam” about finding love in a bomb shelter. I heard him say he was trying to write a love song about the most unlikely location, or some such.
