Sermon On The Rocks marks Josh Ritter’s adventurous eighth studio album, diving deep into what he calls “messianic oracular honky-tonk.” Recorded in New Orleans over just twelve days in January 2015, the album embodies a vibrant blend of rock, folk, and country influences, showcasing Ritter’s signature lyrical wit and dynamic storytelling.
Praised for its inventive wordplay and energetic sound, Sermon On The Rocks seamlessly moves from expansive folk-gothic tales like “Henrietta, Indiana” to heartfelt ballads such as “The Stone.” This release captures Ritter at a creative peak, weaving together cheery melodies with a deeper sense of prophecy and introspection throughout its tracks.
