Title: It's all downhill on these tracks
Review: This album contains none of the intimate and enchanting tunes that gave Josh Ritter a devoted following, tunes like "Me and Jiggs" and "Harrisburg" in Golden Age of Radio. All of the songs I heard are completely unmemorable and the best ones remind me of the worst of Gilbert O'Sullivan. To make things still worse, the recording quality of this CD is simply terrible, it is so highly compressed. I can only guess that poor Josh must be going through some creative crisis and this was his record company's doing to capitalize on his past and well deserved success. I hope this album is just an aberration and that Josh gets back to his former self soon.
