Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist, and best-selling author Josh Ritter<\/strong><\/a> releases his new song, \u201cWild Ways,\u201d<\/em> today. Listen\/share HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of the track, Ritter shares:<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Wild Ways\u2019 is about surrendering to the better angels of our own natures, about allowing them to guide us through life through our experience of joy and awe. Perhaps those better angels are the ones around us we love, perhaps they are truly angels, circling the air about our heads. Either way, in welcoming them into our lives by surrendering, we can find ourselves in whole new worlds of wonder.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The song is the latest unveiled from Ritter\u2019s anticipated new album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew,<\/em> out this Friday, September 12 via Thirty Tigers (pre-order\/pre-save HERE).<\/p>\n Throughout his decades-long career, Ritter has established himself as \u201cone of the most perceptive artists making music today\u201d (American Songwriter), releasing twelve albums to date and earning the respect of countless music legends, with artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir having performed and recorded his songs.<\/p>\n With the release of I Believe in You, My Honeydew,<\/em> Ritter shares ten tracks that further demonstrate the insightful and engaging artistry he\u2019s celebrated for, including \u201cNoah\u2019s Children,\u201d<\/em> \u201cYou Won\u2019t Dig My Grave,\u201d<\/em> and \u201cTruth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding),\u201d<\/em> released earlier this summer. Produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), the new album features Ritter alongside his Royal City Band: Kassirer (piano, organ, synthesizer, accordion), Zachariah Hickman (acoustic and electric bass, thumb piano, mandolin), Rich Hinman (guitars, pedal steel, mandolin), and Ray Rizzo (drums, percussion).<\/p>\n In celebration of the new music, Ritter will tour this fall with newly confirmed solo shows at Los Angeles\u2019 Masonic Lodge, Portland\u2019s The Old Church (two nights), Seattle\u2019s St. Mark\u2019s Cathedral, and full-band shows at New York\u2019s Brooklyn Steel, Minneapolis\u2019 Fitzgerald Theater, Philadelphia\u2019s Keswick Theatre, Washington, D.C.\u2019s Lincoln Theatre, and more. He will also return to Boston for his First Annual Homecoming Dance<\/em> at Citizens House of Blues on November 15, with a portion of ticket presales benefitting the Immigrant Defense Project. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 12 at 10:00am ET, with pre-sale access available now at www.joshritter.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new project follows Ritter\u2019s 2024 mini-album Heaven, or Someplace as Nice,<\/em> recorded with legendary jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and his acclaimed 2023 full-length Spectral Lines.<\/em> Paste praised: \u201cJosh Ritter is like a more open-hearted version of Leonard Cohen. His lyrics draw on the divine, but he seems to see a little heaven in all the people around him,\u201d<\/em> while No Depression declared the record \u201ca hopeful tapestry that encourages listeners to sit with each other in introspection, but not to forget to sing along.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In addition to his music, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels: 2011\u2019s Bright\u2019s Passage<\/em> and 2021\u2019s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All,<\/em> for which film rights have recently been optioned. Of Bright\u2019s Passage,<\/em> Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review<\/em> that it \u201cshines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime\u2026This is the work of a gifted novelist.\u201d<\/em> Most recently, Ritter launched his Substack, Josh Ritter\u2019s Book of Jubilations,<\/em> a place to reflect and explore the ideas, stories, and creative moments that have shaped him.<\/p>\n I Believe in You, My Honeydew<\/em> \u2014 Track List<\/strong><\/p>\n You Won\u2019t Dig My Grave<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Honeydew (No Light)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Noah\u2019s Children<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wild Ways<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Thunderbird<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Kudzu Vines<\/p>\n<\/li>\n I\u2019m Listening<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Wreckage of One Vision of You<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Throne<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Josh Ritter Confirmed Tour Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n BOLD<\/strong> = on sale Friday, September 12 at 10:00am ET<\/p>\n October 1 \u2014 Los Angeles, CA \u2014 Masonic Lodge (solo show) (SOLD OUT) \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.gratefulweb.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist, and best-selling author Josh Ritter releases his new song, \u201cWild Ways,\u201d today.
