A collaboration for the ages, Josh Ritter teamed up with Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires to work on his newest record,Ā Fever Breaks. This top-tier trio stopped by NPRās Tiny Desk to perform some of the more poignant and concise songs from the record — songs that some may even be labeled protest songs.
Each of them icons in their own right, these three musicians are no strangers to BGS.Ā Earlier this year, Ritter was featured as an artist of the month, Isbell taught us a thing or two about protest songs, and Shires has enjoyed some accolades this year for her involvement in supergroup The Highwomen. A roots music trifecta, watch as Ritter, Isbell, and Shires grace the Tiny Desk here.
