JOSH RITTER - THE BEAST IN ITS TRACKS AVAILABLE NOW The Beast In Its Tracks, the new album from renowned singer-songwriter Josh Ritter, will be released March 5 on Pytheas Recordings. Of the record, Ritter says, “In the year after my marriage ended, I realized that I had more new songs than I’d ever had at one time. Far from the grand, sweeping feel of the songs on So Runs the World Away, these new songs felt like rocks in the shoe, hard little nuggets of whatever they were, be it spite, remorse, or happiness.” On 20th July 2010, Josh Ritter & The Royal City Band performed a two hour show at the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin, Ireland spanning Josh’s full catalog. This two CD & Single-DVD set is the result of that show. The Iveagh Gardens is a set of beautiful public gardens in Dublin, Ireland. This was the first time there had ever been a rock show there.
