The Historial Conquests of Josh Ritter

Yeah, so there are some true stunners on this album. Wait For Love, Right Moves, The Temptation of Adam, for instance. A couple of fillers, though, and I don't think The Animal Years had any filler. Whereas The Animal Years was meloncholy and introspective, Historical Conquests is rollicking and honky-tonk. Can't wait to see him in concert October 4th. I'll be listening to this for a long time to come. Give it a whirl!
