LP released: May 10, 2019
Plugging away at his craft for over 20 years now, Idaho bred singer/songwriter Josh Ritter has come up with his best album in nearly a decade with Fever Breaks. Ritter hit his stride back in the early 2000s with flawless albums like The Animal Years and the succeeding (and not so humbly named) The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter. On Fever Breaks, Ritter gets an able assist by Jason Isbell as producer and is backed by Isbell’s band The 400 Unit. Ritter’s stock in trade has always been the tender ballad marked with seemingly simple, yet ingenious, turns of phrase. |
