The track will appear on Ritter's tenth studio album, Fever Breaks, which is set for release on April 26 viaPytheas Recordings/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Grammy Award-winning musician Jason Isbell, the 10-track album was recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio A and features Isbell's band, the 400 Unit.

The new music is receiving early critial prasie-Rolling Stone says, "The new record, cut at Nashville's Sound Emporium studios, continues Ritter's exploration of Americana, blending gentle country twang and potent Muscle Shoals-influenced production with the singer-songwriter's contemplative lyrics, which range from thorny and political to refreshingly hopeful," while Paste adds, "His wizened introspective lyrics paired with the strong southern rock of the 400 Unit is a match made in heaven-er, Nashville."

In celebration of the release, Ritter is set for a run of North American tour dates in May with his longtime band,The Royal City Band, which also include support from Amanda Shires (select dates) and Penny & Sparrow. These shows include stops at New York's Beacon Theatre, Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Philadelphia'sKeswick Theater, D.C.'s Lincoln Theater, Chicago's The Vic, two shows at Boston's Wilbur Theater and more. Tickets are on sale now at joshritter.com. See below for complete tour dates.

Recorded at Nashville's RCA Studio A with additional recording and mixing at Sound Emporium, the record was engineered by Matt Ross-Spang and features contributions from Isbell (guitar and vocals) and his band the 400 Unit, which includes Derry Deborja (piano, organ and Hohner accordion), Chad Gamble (drums and percussion), Jimbo Hart (fender electric, ukulele and upright bass), Sadler Vaden (electric guitar, acoustic guitar and 12 string acoustic guitar) and Amanda Shires (violin and vocals).

Over the course of his career Ritter has released ten full-length albums including 2017's Gathering, which debuted at #4 onBillboard's Americana/Folk Albums chart and received widespread critical praise. NPR Music proclaims, "Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He'd be forgiven for loosening his grip, but his hand has never felt surer," while the HuffPost adds, "Gathering is beautiful and precise, and most of the beauty, to be certain, arises from a prolonged, often intimate contemplation of Ritter's enormous skill set as an honest bard." In 2015 Ritter began a close collaboration with Bob Weir and went on to write or co-write many of the 12 songs on Weir's acclaimed 2016 solo album, Blue Mountain. Pitchfork called the album "quietly adventurous, wise, and a welcome late-career turn," while Entertainment Weekly described it as "a moving group of tunes worthy of any campfire."

In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter made his debut as a published author in 2011 with his New York Times best-selling novel Bright's Passage (Dial Press/Random House). Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright's Passage "shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime...This is the work of a gifted novelist."
