I don't have the time now to find and post the YouTube videos, but if any of you want to check out Josh Ritter I would recommend hearing the songs "The Curse", "Temptation of Adam" and "Thin Blue Flame". Those first 2 especially are really remarkable.

Much respect to Bill Callaham. I really like him. I much prefer Ritter. Ritter is just a really technically gifted lyricist and songwriter. He is up there with John prine and TVZ especially in the area of storytelling and narratives.

Julius Caesar, Knock Knock, and Wild Love are all time favorites. Kudos to borve for nominating them

Easily Bill Callahan for me. Ritter just doesn't do anything for me whatsoever, whereas Callahan's music is consistently interesting and often really great.

Good matchup, but I prefer Callahan's songwriter by a little. very close though. Ritter is under appreciated
