Josh Ritter - The Animal Years (Deluxe Edition) (2009)

The 29-year old Idaho native returns with his stunning new album.

On this, his V2 debut, Josh more than lives up to the buzz. "As a storyteller, Ritter is matched only by his lofty influences" - Pitchfork. "He approaches songwriting and performing with humility, respect, and unforced and unaffected honesty" - No Depression.
