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, 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. [1]

The album was received enthusiastically by critics, who frequently compared him to musicians such as Nick Drake [2], Bob Dylan, and Neil Young, but failed to reach a large audience in the United States. The album was a success in Ireland, where, thanks to good word-of-mouth and an opening spot on The Frames' tour [3] followed by frequent headlining gigs, Ritter is now considered "a minor celebrity."[4]
