Sermon on the Rocks is the eighth full-length studio album, by singer/songwriter Josh Ritter. It was released October 16, 2015 on Pytheas Recordings. Ritter described the record as ""messianic oracular honky-tonk" NPR's Stephen Thomson said the album contains "some of Ritter's slipperiest, nimblest wordplay"[3] and Jonathan Bernstein of Rolling Stone commented that the record used "Eighties textures" and "vivid character sketches" to yield a very different result from its predecessor, The Beast in Its Tracks.[2]
