VIMTV Episode #234: Josh Ritter – So Runs The World Away

Jake: Recommended, 84/100

Tom: Recommended, 82/100

Overview: On this album, Josh Ritter presents a great variety of song styles within the folk/indie genre. There isn’t a bad track on here, but it still doesn’t really push things forward too much– it’s just a great collection of what can be done with sound, even though it’s mostly stuff that already has been done.
