CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: Singer/songwriter Ritter’s debut appeared in 2000 and he hasn’t stopped releasing albums since, combining easygoing pop, rock and folk. Even if his voice isn’t especially distinctive, Ritter’s firm grasp of melody, fine-tuned band and excellent production makes each album worth hearing. A new one, Spectral Lines, that appeared last month, continues his tradition of exemplary writing and classy songs that feel intimate and universal. Adeem the Artist’s raw country, often concerning the working class, makes for a terrific double bill. — HH
From the venue:
Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter will release his anticipated new album, Spectral Lines, April 28 via Thirty Tigers. One of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices, Ritter has released ten studio albums including 2019’s widely acclaimed, Fever Breaks, of which NPR Music praised, “He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation, often within a single song.”
