Josh Ritter's debut album is a subdued affair, consisting of solo acoustic songs inspired by love, romance, and the landscapes of the American West and Midwest. As one might expect from a first album by a young singer-songwriter (he was 23 when this album was released), not everything here works, especially the song with the unintentionally apt title "Horrible Qualities." But on "Paths Will Cross," a song Ritter wrote for his friends before he left his native Idaho to attend college at Oberlin, we can easily hear the clever wit and bare vulnerability that have made him one of the best songwriters of his generation.

Josh Ritter has certainly come along way since his first album, a raw, stripped-down, pure folk affair. "Beatiful Night" and "Letter From Omaha" are my favorite tracks.
