Less well-known but arguably more talented than his contemporary Ryan Adams, and perhaps forever doomed to be confused with Josh Rouse, an equally fine but far more low-key indie singer-songwriter, Josh Ritter should nonetheless count himself lucky: in the 1970s, he would have been called a New Dylan, a moniker that inhibited the career of every singer-songwriter it was applied to. Like his guitar-totting forebears, Ritter does bear the mark of Dylan in his wordy mix of highbrow literary and historical allusions with sly pop culture riffs, but musically, Ritter has more in common with contemporaries like the Arcade Fire or the Hold Steady, anchoring folky tunes such as "The Temptation of Adam" and "To the Dogs Or Whoever" with a solid, anthemic rock base. (Note: A limited first edition of THE HISTORICAL CONQUESTS OF JOSH RITTER includes a four-track bonus EP.)
