Josh Ritter is a somewhat known folkrock artist that has seen some decent commercial success, even playing on Letterman. I've heard him described as part Springsteen, part Leonard Cohen. In fact this description, or something similar to it, is used so often that when I first actually saw the dude I was shocked at how un-swarthy he was. For the record, I think he's much closer to Bruce than Times Square's favorite bard.
Anyway, I've been a fan of his for a couple of years now and suggest you (um, Ryan) get on the trolley.
Two great songs which are emblematic of Ritter are "To the Dogs or Whoever" and "Girl in the War". Just kick ass lyrics, great melodies, and some fucking tough instrumentals (particularly Dogs).
