Josh Ritter covers "The River"

[SpringsteenMagic]

In April of 2007, Josh Ritter was invited to participate in the Bruce Springsteen Tribute at Carnegie Hall in New York City. That night, before Bruce himself took the stage, Josh performed a chilling, solo acoustic version of "The River." Not captured in a recording, it has remained one of the most talked-about performances from that night. But while performing an encore in concert on September 12, 2007, Ritter broke out his rendition of "The River" again for the audience in Berlin -- there's a pristine recording thanks to German radio, and you can download it here. For more on Josh, currently on tour, visit his MySpace page and his official site at www.joshritter.com.

I love the new Josh Ritter album. Highly recommended.

I've actually never heard anything from him until now, but I'll definitely listen to some other stuff of his. I really like his voice.

Josh's last 3 records (Hello Starling, The Animal Years, and The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter) are all very strong. And he's a great performer so don't miss a chance to see him live.

"The Historical Conquests..." is EXCEPTIONAL. Unfortunately I haven't seen him live yet!
