    “Josh Ritter has a way with metaphor,” praises the New York Times. “It’s one of the literary touches in his music that have established him among the cream of the young singer-songwriter crop.” Ritter’s six albums have earned him extensive critical acclaim, a devoted fan base, and comparisons to Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Bruce Springsteen. He was named one of the 100 Greatest Living Songwriters by Paste magazine, and Stephen King praised Ritter’s The Animal Years as the best album of recent memory. Ritter’s first novel, Bright’s Passage is a dazzling and suspenseful tale of the journey taken by a father and his infant son. “Combining the pull of a big ballad and the intimacy of a whispered monologue, it satisfies on every level,” says acclaimed folk musician and author Wesley Stace.
