``I`ve come to expect good records from him...but this one took my breath away.`` Bob Boilen, NPR Music. Ritter`s sixth studio album, So Runs The World Away, marks the beginning of what Josh calls a ``new period`` in his life, and it`s reflected in songs that he describes as ``more detailed and feel as if they were painted in oil on large canvasses.`` "4 stars. So Runs the World Away, the fifth studio album from bookish, Idaho-born troubadour Josh Ritter, unfolds like a Flannery O`Connor, Jim Jarmusch, and Mark Twain road trip. Equally steeped in Southern and Midwest Gothic Americana, the son of a pair of neuroscientists has crafted his most unique collection of songs to date, borrowing characters from mythology, literature, and world history and letting them run wild in the increasingly adventurous, neo-traditional folk style that his become his forte over the last decade." - AMG
