Josh Ritter
Josh Ritter is an outstanding artist, this is just one of many good songs he plays. If you like the sound of accoustic guitar, and folk music, you will likely love this artist. Some of his influences are Bob Dylan, and Johnny Cash. Josh Ritter grew up in Idaho, released his first album in 1999 (self-titled album). He has grown quickly in popularity over the last several years. "In the Dark: Live at Vicar Street" is his first live album.

Idaho
I love mellow, soft finger picking on an accoustic guitar. Josh is singing about his Idaho roots, and as a big fan of Idaho, I just love it. The melody and lyrics are simple, but powerful. Let me know what you think, I'd love some feedback.


My plan is to post a song I really like each day, I won't ever run out of songs to choose from because I LOVE MUSIC. I enjoy many genres of music, so you can expect variety. I will explore options of how to post the songs on my blog so that viewers can listen to the songs, I don't know what options are available at this point... For now I will be finding a good version of the song on youtube, and posting a link to it.
