Another Welcomed "Guest"...Before Animal Years News

Jan. 8, 2006.   Okay, I think we all know that "Royal City" is here...Now I can bring some news and updates. Often. I promise to update things here frequently - whether it's just a random quick thought or big announcements from headquarters about the upcoming album and tours. And there's plenty of that coming!

In the meantime, "The Doubtful Guest" continues to get some recognition they deserve - from us Josh fans. The Doubtful Guest are a few loyal Josh Ritter supporters in the UK, led by frontman Andy Hill. Their song "Moment of the Year" is an awesome song showcasing the band's talents, and they've been so pleased to hear from Josh's fans who have emailed and posted on the message boards that they've released a song EXCLUSIVELY to dougrice.net. It's a world premiere, and it's by popular demand; they'd like us to hear it first. And I'll speak for many of us when I say: we're honored. Because it's a beautiful, beautiful acoustic ballad where Hill's voice and songwriting shine through once again.

Stop over to the updated "Jukebox" page to listen to the song. Thank you, fellow music lovers. And thank you, Doubtful Guest... (Updated Jukebox >)
