This seems like the touch Josh Ritter needed. He is simply one of the best out there, and behind him he assembled a mighty band that is able to be muscular when need be and tender in the next moment, to solo like a motherfucker but also to provide rich and dramatic backing. Anyone who’s visited Treble knows how we feel about Jason Isbell and his band, a sentiment shared broadly among any reputable music publication there is a reason, after all, that Jason Isbell has swept the Americana award section of the Grammys for the past three records he’s released. So on Fever Breaks, his tenth album, he decided to pair up with one of the few country-folk/Americana artists to have crossed over in a big way, using Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit as his backing band for this set of tracks. He cites figures like Bob Dylan and Flannery O’Connor as his biggest influences, which make for great songs that apparently are a hard sell to most.

Perhaps it was because he played the kind of folk that was just a bit too cozy to country for more country-averse types to dig into while at the same time being a bit too literary and musically rich for pop country to really sink its teeth into, leaving him both beloved and aesthetically homeless all at once. Other greats have recently netted increasing broad critical attention which has thankfully turned to sales and award wins, all of which are only important so far as they translate again to more listeners and a broader audience. But yet despite his great acclaim and appreciation within that sphere, he seemed never to break through into a wider mainstream audience. Josh Ritter is one of the best living Americana players and composers.
