New Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter announced a new album, "The Beast In Its Tracks," on his Facebook page today.

I have a new album coming out on March 5, 2013. It’s called The Beast in Its Tracks. You can hear a song from it on joshritter.com.

I wrote and recorded this record in the 18 months after my marriage had fallen apart. All heartbreak is awful – my broken heart wasn’t unique. But writing these songs was helping me get through the night and I didn’t have the strength to care or question.

The album is released on March 5, which should be a good day for music, no?
