Josh Ritter, is a quintessential middle-of-the-road Americana singer-songwriter who brings forth his seventh LP laden with songs written about the heart, from the heart.

So Runs The World Away is the latest album from American troubadour Josh Ritter. Originally released back in 2010, it was re-released this year along with the EP Bringing in the Darlings to coincide with his tour with Simone Felice. A beautifully understated record that fits neatly alongside Ritter’s back catalogue.

Simone Felice and Josh Ritter played Notes Newtown on Friday night. Pete Dovgan
was there to catch the show.

Josh Ritter will be discovering the east coast of Australia in early July. the AU review caught up with him to talk about writing stuff, touring and nearly dying.

Some great releases this week including Lawrence Arabia, John Butler, Lisa Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Josh Ritter and a re-release from Lenny Kravitz. Some excellent homegrown releases as well in there!
