Three songs written by John Prine and discussed with your host

Arlo Parks last night at the breathtakingly, gorgeous Fox Theater up here in Oakland! • My third time with Arlo and her songs are so so special. Full of warmth, comfort, grief, real people, food, solace, & sunbeams. She sings about fighting depression, about ways to “make the black dog go away…” I heard the same from @genesisowusu last week in Boise (an admonition scrawled across a banner to beware of black dogs!) and when Genesis and his dancers are able to shake this black dog, the ensuing dancing (Arlo is fond of “stomping” all over!) is as joyful & free as anything I’ve been a part of. I reckon that black dog is the same one @joshritter is running from when he conjures ways to “stop the beast in its tracks…” That feeling that you just gotta keep moving, gotta get up out of bed, go to the corner store, buy some fruit, etc… There is powerful, medicinal magic in this thread of songwriting so deep within me, and it really does help me. Especially when I too feel like Arlo when she muses “it’s so cruel what your mind can do for no reason…” • Thank you for these songs Arlo! See you in September back in Denver again!! • #collapsedinsunbeams #blackdog #arloparks #genesisowusu #joshritter (at Fox Theater - Oakland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb0HHJ0rH0N/?utm_medium=tumblr

• Witness Marks • There’s something about this title that just hooks me. Seriously, say the title out loud. Think of the inflection in which you say The Great Glorious Goddamn of it All. This is a lyrical, sweeping novel written by @joshritter that explores a young boy’s coming-of-age in the American West. Weldon Applegate, our main character, recounts his life on his deathbed nearly a century later. Applegate describes a life filled with glory, tall tales writ large with murder, mayhem, avalanches, and bootlegging. This is a story of dark pine forests brewing with ancient magic, haunting saloon tunes, bursting with heart, humor, and adventures during the rise and fall of lumberjacks in the American West. Big thanks to gifted to me by @hanoversquarepress and @harlequinbooks!! This book publishes 9.7.21! ✨ Do you like stories about the past?

Josh Ritter — Sept 25, 2016 MPMF Columbus is one of the best places for a concert photographer with Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and Cleveland all within a two hour drive. I can pick up shows that don’t make it to Columbus to photograph my favorites, as long as I get approved. #joshritter #royalcityband #americana #songwriter #mpmf #livemusic #concertphotography #ohiophotographer #columbusphotographer #atrillionsouls copyright Harry Acosta (at MidPoint Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pshe9Dr6_/?igshid=cuuhfbzfqc4t
