    People who listen to this music see Jason and Amanda as a duo who make beautiful music together. But you watch this and the Highway Women and you realize that Jason and Amanda are gifted musicians who make everyone they work with sound better, more powerful and so much more melodic. Amanda on that fiddle and Jason on the guitar, put them with anyone and suddenly you have a power group! Great set, thank you.

      Agreed on their talent but I believe Josh's lyrics are always stealing the show. Most brilliant story teller I've ever heard. There's a reason most of his classics are acoustic solos. I don't get much from backup musicians that have worked with him... Unless they're backing up/ colab vocals like with Bob Weir.

    What I also love is this: Since his last tiny Desk Concert, Josh has written stunning songs that are also funny (Getting Ready To Get Down e.g.), groovy (New Lover), romantic (Lights), rocking (Old Black Magic) and raw (Dreams). But he chose to use this particular spotlight less to put on a show and more to make a statement for empathy and values. And with the seriousness and kindness they all three show, I think it's the right thing to do in these times.

A decade in a band made up mostly of violin players will forever imprint the sound of that instrument in your mind.

      @@joelmiddaugh8229 I'm not naive, I know our government has been horribly corrupt throughout our history. How ever the trump regime with the complacent republican party have brought us to a new low, a new level of cruelty and corruption.
      Saying all our government's throughout our history were just as corrupt is not a valid excuse to stand idly by and do nothing. Personally, even though I'll readily admit to the corruption of the past I feel no other administration has had the same blatant hatred for anyone who dares to be different from them than what we saw from the trump administration and what now passes for the republican party. These are truly evil men and women.

      @@goat2558 personally, I think your falling for appearances and they are all bad. I dont know what logic in the world would make you think Trump is any worse than Bush Jr, for example. You're just outraged by the appearance. The last Republican started a war based on a lie, got thousands of innocent people killed, and the last Democrat promised hope and change then put kids in cages at the border and drone bombed the middle east and Syria more than any other president.

      Andrew Ongais it really has nothing to do with letting her be herself, she’s a dope fiddler but this is a separate issue.

      I see art flourishing everywhere and artists doing about as well as they ever have or better. It just rarely surfaces in the commercial market, but that’s a consequence of technology, without which you and I would not be having this conversation, nor would we have easy access to artists like a Josh Ritter and Jason Isbell. I guess it’s all how you want to look at it.
