Josh Ritter - The Animal Years

This is the new album, just into its second play so no firm view as yet, but not sounding as good as "Golde Age Of Radio" so far.

4 stars in The Guardian.

He's an old soul, Josh Ritter. On his last album, Hello Starling, his evocative Americana invaded Dylan's territory, but now he has turned to the even more ancient prose of Mark Twain and Thomas Jefferson for inspiration. Apparently it's the chaotic state of the world that has him scurrying to the safety of nostalgia, but whatever the reason, he rarely puts a foot wrong.
Lillian Egypt - a love story written as a silent film, with lyrics featuring mustachioed villains and a piano melody breathless with drama - proves old-fashioned doesn't have to mean boring. Easy melodies are offset by adventurous harmonies, retro keyboards and steel guitar.

Though Ritter's style is simple, Thin Blue Flame becomes an intense, poetic rant. His voice - think Springsteen without the gruffness, or maybe a meat-eating James Taylor - is more intimate than ever: a haunted whisper in Idaho, consumed by the darkness of the open road in Monster Ballads.
