    Reviews of Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter...

    "...Josh Ritter just gets more assured. He's always been a dazzling lyricist, deft turns of phrase skittering through his songs like shooting stars in a night sky, and this album is no exception...What's different here is the turbulence and ambition of the music....If it doesn't make Ritter a star, nothing can." - The Guardian

    "You're presently reading about what may be the best album of 2007, hands down, by the most under-accorded American musical genius. Real murmurs, believable ones, came with Josh Ritter's 2006 album, The Animal Years, suggesting that the Idahoan is today's Bruce Springsteen, today's Bob Dylan. He's never sounded more the part than on Historical Conquests....." - Andrew Bartlett
