Writer Josh Ritter on how his hometown in Idaho inspired his new book

Josh Ritter has been called one of the greatest songwriters - now, he's set his sights on writing for a different audience. His second novel, "The Great and Glorious Goddamn of It All," is set to be released on Tuesday. The book is set in Idaho, where Ritter was raised, in the early 1900s before modern machines changed the logging business forever. Jeff Glor reports.

My favorite musician of all time.

Josh is such a genuine person. If you ever get to see him live, it is amazing to see how much he loves what he does.

Never heard of him.

[@goneatlast]

Well now, you're in for a trip.

[@timothywolfenden4478]

your wife is wrong….Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, the God who spoke all creation into existence by HIS word, and yes, created all things in 6 days, 6000 years ago, who Himself abides within all those humble hearts that receive Him. This is true music…..

wow.....

[@ahome8089]

Pretty sure you’re wrong…you sound like a righteous idiot

You are brainwashed, sir.

@@brianErickson-bx9hp Aah, but my heart is alive and rejoice to know that I possess the fullness of God in me, and me in God, Jesus Christ who is over all God most blessed forever. As a biochemist and with a doctorate from Columbia University....all this turned to dust the moment He, the risen Lord came to reside within me. And the world which once was in colour, now is profoundly gray and mundane.
