Josh Ritter, Sermon on the Rocks, feature CD, 1/8

KSUT will feature 'Sermon on the Rocks', the new album from critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Josh Ritter on Friday, January 8 at 12 noon. The album appeared on several listener polls and industry 'best of' lists as we wrapped up 2015, including KSUT's.

Produced by Ritter and Trina Shoemaker, the 12-song album was recorded over two weeks at New Orleans’ The Parlor Recording Studio and features Matt Barrick from The Walkmen on drums, Zachariah Hickman on bass, Josh Kaufman on guitar and Sam Kassirer on piano.
 
Of his inspiration behind Sermon on the Rocks, Ritter comments, “I wanted to play messianic oracular honky-tonk.”
