Stunningly beautiful work. I saw you in NC, have all your albums, huge fan!

Another Josh classic. Writes brilliantly. His first album - just called Josh Ritter, I think - is incredibly mature and perceptive for a guy who could only have been about 20 at the time. Great live in concert too.

“Roots of Resistance” is part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise.

The song addresses the erosion of land ownership, community displacement, and the quiet but unyielding resistance of working people rooted in place. Rather than protest through spectacle, the track carries its defiance through restraint — steady rhythm, grounded imagery, and inherited values that refuse to be erased by corporate systems.

This piece reflects Appalachian generational memory, where land was once attainable through labor and dignity, and where loss of place is not merely economic, but cultural and spiritual. “Roots of Resistance” stands as a truth-forward anthem — not shouting, but enduring.

Roots of Resistance

Colony of Bees is Beta Radio’s first full length recording in over four years. It marks a subtle departure in style from their celebrated debut Seven Sisters – a record without label support and whose grassroots success was built largely on the back of internet radio stations Pandora and Spotify. The more layered and at times ethereal offerings on Colony Of Bees tread into new territory, but at the same time manage to effortlessly keep one foot firmly rooted in the Americana/folk arena that they have called home for many years.
