New Album on Shelves, in the Mail

March 3, 2006.   Folks, the long awaited and much anticipated new album from Josh Ritter is here. Well, for some of you.

"The Animal Years" was released today in beautiful Ireland, and put into the mail to many of you around the world. We - the fans and the band alike - are so excited that this record is starting to get out there. Go pick up or order your copy today! And if you're hearing the album this week, please let everyone know what you think - on the message boards, to friends, and elsewhere...

Remember, you can download the album's stunning opening track "Girl in the War" here, and its 9 1/2 minute long centerpiece (or should I say masterpiece) here.

"The Animal Years" gets released in the UK/Europe on March 20, in Canada on April 4, and in the USA on April 11.

Cheers!
