In the nearly 20 years since creating his own major (“American History Through Narrative Folk Music”) at Ohio’s Oberlin College, Josh Ritter has staked his claim as the living master of narrative folk music. Backed by his Royal City Band, Ritter has released eight full-length albums, most recently last year’s Sermon on the Rocks. With Elephant Revival.
