Josh Ritter’s Heaven, or Someplace as Nice is a brand new set of original songs meant to be heard together. Featuring legendary jazz guitarist Bill Frisell (appearing courtesy of Blue Note Records), this nine-song collection was recorded live in the studio over the course of just a few days, with minimal overdubsit was recorded quickly, and we wanted Josh’s fans to hear it quickly.

This is a cozy, intimate album designed to be heard around a campfire, or late at night at home with a stick of incense burning. Josh has referred to this as his cosmic cowboy mini-album,which seems aptthese are new, original songs that sound old, played by an astoundinggroup of musicians who know when to get out of the way and let the songs speak forthemselves.

Notably, Josh penned”Only A River” years ago and it first appeared on Bob Weir’s 2016 solorecordBlue Mountain. Bob Dylan covered the song during live shows in Japan and Italy in 2023.Josh deepens his relationship with the track byrecording his own studio version for the first timeonHeaven.

This will be a surprise release, with a focus on Joshs longtime fanbase.
