With a quick google search of “twists of a script”—I’m not sure why this was that line I choose to remember—it was revealed that the song was called “Thin Blue Flame” and became even more awesome upon further examination. The song is from his 2006 album The Animal Years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I was lucky enough to see Josh Ritter, in Ani Defranco’s old church nonetheless, this summer and found that he has added quite a few new songs to his set lists that run along the same lines, such as “Galahad” and “Harrisburg“. I strongly encourage picking up a few of his songs or albums, you won’t be disappointed. So expect a few more songs of his to be featured on future Music Mondays.

As always, if you get a chance, send your suggestions for future Music Mondays to me at chashman@centerforinquiry.net, leave a comment below, or @tweet us at @CFIOnCampus. Your suggestions, along with future and past songs, may end up in the official Course of Reason Music Monday Grooveshark playlist or Spofity playlist, that anyone can listen to.
