Hello Starling is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Josh Ritter. As Ritter's previous albums have done, Hello Starling was compared to other Americana greats such as Woody Guthrie, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. His voice on the album was described as smooth with sleepy, rough edges. George Graham praised the lyrics and vocal delivery. Hello Starling was reissued on January 17, 2010 as a two-disc Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition includes the complete original studio album and a second bonus disc. The bonus disc contains solo acoustic versions of all the original tracks (re-recorded by Ritter in Nashville of June 2008) as well as four live bonus tracks, an introduction by Dennis Lehane, and a full color lyric and photo booklet with never-before-seen photos.
"Acoustic Tales", the release on Fluid Audio by Field Rotation, is more of a trip to another country than it is an album.

Each track is a full day in this wilderness - traversing hillsides, rivers and embankments, up hill and down dale. Each trip is undertaken differently, with the sun in the sky throwing different angles of light and illuminating hidden aspects of the terrain. Christoph Berg built this world throughout a two-year period, with the stated aim of integrating the literary traits of Kafka and Hemingway into an auditory form, seamlessly blending cinematic character with a subtle and mature melodic personality…
2010 release, the first-ever acoustic album from the legendary and influential Canadian Electronic duo. Voice: An Acoustic Collection is comprised of previously unreleased versions of Delerium's most memorable tracks, which are beautifully transformed into stripped down, acoustic renditions that serve justice to their ambient, Electronic Pop originals.

The album also includes three brand new songs in the acoustic style: 'Too Late Farewell' (featuring Butterfly Boucher), 'Send Me An Angel' (featuring Miranda Lee Richards) and 'Vienna' (featuring Elsiane).
