Golden Age of Radio is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Josh Ritter. It was Ritter's first album to be released nationally after he was signed to Signature Sounds. According to his official website,[1] Golden Age of Radio was originally self-released in 2001 and passed out at shows. This self-pressed version contained a different, solo version of the title track called "Country Song," different mastering, and a different track order.[2]

Critical reception

The album was received enthusiastically by critics, who frequently compared him to musicians such as Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young, but failed to reach a large audience in the United States. The album was a success in Ireland,[3] where, thanks to good word-of-mouth and an opening spot on The Frames' tour followed by frequent headlining gigs, Ritter is now considered "a minor celebrity."[4]
