You learn a lot about performers when you see them live. Beyond the obvious of realizing who can really play and sing, you learn a little about the persona projected on stage. For me, this can impact how I listen to an artist's recordings. This is the case with Josh Ritter. I have seen live twice and both times he put together exuberant, joyful performances. I have never seen anyone happier to be on stage than Ritter. The vibe becomes infectious and spills over the audience making it an altogether fun experience. Watching him on stage, I was able to see a smile sneak onto his face in the middle of singing certain lyrics. It gives a new dimension to the songs. This performance offers a glimpse of that. The style of the song is not entirely indicative of Ritter's music, it does show a solid live performance.
