Hear Josh Ritter
He's not so much MY secret, but just unknown to you.
But read this, his songs then listen (gotta love a guy who shamelessly GIVES you his tunes) to them...you'll see why I'm so in awe.
Come and Find me is simply haunting....
Monster Ballads
Radio waves are coming miles and miles Bringing only empty boats Whatever feeling they had when they sailed Somehow slipped out between the notes
Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing just a little bit
And I was thinking 'bout what Katy done Thinking 'bout what Katy did The fairest daughter of the Pharaoh's son Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids
Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing just a little bit
Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise And when you're empty there's so much space for them You turn it off but then a still small voice Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
And I was thinking 'bout my river days I was thinking 'bout me and Jim Passing Cairo on a getaway With every steamboat like a hymn
Out on the desert now I'm feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Smiling just a little bit

If I could trace the lines that ran Between your smile and your sleight of hand I would guess that you put something up my sleeve Now every time I see your face the bells ring in a far-off place We can find each other this way I believe
From the hills and up behind, my town is naked from the horizon down The curvature is pressed against the raise We walked up in the fields alone And the silence fell just like a stone That got lost in the wild blue and the gravel grey
Come and find me now
Though I'm here in this far off place My air is not this time and space I draw you close with every breath you don't know it's right until it's wrong You don't know it's yours until it's gone I didn't know that it was home ‘til you up and left
Come and find me now
I keep you in a flower vase With your fatalism and your crooked face With the daisies and the violet brocades And I keep me in a vacant lot In the ivy and forget-me-nots Hoping you will come and untangle me one of these days
Come and find me now

I became a huge fan of Josh Ritter a few years ago when my sister made a CD of 2 of his albums for me for my birthday. Every time I listened I heard something new. Tremendously smart and poetic lyrics and memorable melodies like nothing you've ever heard.
Yep, I was smitten!
The following year, almost to the day, Josh came to Winnipeg, just him and his guitar and of course I went to the concert. It was at the West End - a very cozy venue. The show was amazing. His voice was awesome, even without a mike.
On Saturday he was back at the West End, with his band. Once again what a show. In such an intimate venue, it was even more great. Pay attention to Josh - he'll be back in Winnipeg this summer and you will be missing a great show if you don't go.
