Mate. Some top shouts there.

I saw Josh Ritter at Academy 2 in 2005-ish. He did half the set unplugged, totally acoustic. Such a mint gig - I’m 34 so that was probably one of the first ‘proper’ gigs I went to.

Funnily enough, I got into Josh Ritter through a recommendation from a member on here (@Citysmith) who I’ve known on TheDigitalFix forums for years.

I reckon that “So Runs The World Away” and “Sermon on the Rocks” were the best two albums of the last decade.

Stunning debut album.

Yet have a song that pays tribute to some of the greats of the genre.
