5.0 out of 5 stars Just really good, June 9, 2003

Josh Ritter's "The Golden Age of Radio" does what many albums fail to do; it creates a world that you can lose yourself in, that almost sweeps you off your feet. When I first heard it I was blown away, with the gentle first track "Come and Find Me" into the second "Me and Jiggs" which has more of a alt-country feel to it, but is neither abrupt or disappointing. Ritter's lyrics are beautifully woven, and each song is recognizably distinct, however most are reminiscent of Drake and Dylan. An amazing buy, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addicting, September 21, 2002

I had never heard of Josh Ritter until I heard him play live for our Four Directions Summer Research Program at Harvard Medical School this past August. He gave the most amazing performance (and he was so nice, too!) This CD has become one of my favorites. The songs ROLL ON and ME & JIGGS were the first to catch my attention, but now I like many others, like ANNE, OTHER SIDE, GOLDEN AGE OF RADIO, etc. I understand that Josh Ritter is very famous in Ireland, but I think he soon will be a household name in the U.S. Some artists I could compare him with are Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen. If you like these artists, you must get this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Talented!, June 12, 2003

This is one of the best albums I've heard in a few years. Every song is very catchy - you won't want to quit listening to it! After hearing the haunting 'Come and Find Me' on Six Feet Under, I had to rush out and buy the album. This is one purchase you won't regret - especially when he becomes a household name (as he inevitablly will) and you can tell all your friends you heard of him 'way back when.' He has a new album coming out in the Fall of 2003.
