Yeah, it's a shame he passed away at such a young age :( . Very funny guy. I think his last movie (or one of his last one's) was Bad Santa, which I thought he was great in. That movie cracks me up, Billy Bob Thorton is a riot in that one.

But as for this thread, no, never heard of Josh Ritter.

Archive.org has some sweet live stuff. Golden Age of Radio and Hello Starling are both excellent records.

My first band was called The Jack Trippers.

We did a version of Phish's David Bowie but the lyrics were "Reagal Beagle" instead of "David Bowie". And then we replaced the "UB40" line with "Mr. Ferley".

Just saw Josh open for Todd Snider at a little club here in town. Thought he was excellent. It was solo acoustic, and although his guitar playing didn't knock me out, his voice and his lyrics were great, as was his stage presence and the stories he told. He wasn't as good as Todd, but it was very enjoyable.

Ya, the guitar playing is straightforward and I am a guitar guy, but really into singer/songwriters at the moment. Never heard of Todd Snider though. Guess I need to check him out. Any suggestions?

Realized after I posted that that I should have added more for those of you unfamiliar with Todd. He's been around for almost 20 years and is a great singer-songwriter. He's living in Nashville, but originally from Portland, Oregon. He's funny as all get out and great to see live. He has several CD's available. One of my faves is East Nashville Skyline. Check him out, if you're not familiar with him.
