Josh Ritter

Studio 360

Josh Ritter says that his new album, So Runs the World Away, is evidence that he’s not a kid anymore. Ritter performs two songs from the record and talks to Kurt about feeling grown up when he was eight years old. And Ritter explains how a New York City garbage truck helped him break through writer’s block.
