Josh Ritter wrote "Change of Time" on his own, and it sits on So Runs the World Away, his sixth studio album, which reached the world on 4 May 2010 after a Record Store Day vinyl run in the States and an Irish release in April. He sings and plays acoustic guitar, with Dawn Landes and Allie Moss adding their voices, and Austin Nevins brings a whole toolbox: electric and baritone guitar, lap steel, banjo, ebow and glockenspiel. Sam Kassirer produced and plays piano, Zachariah Hickman is on electric bass, Liam Hurley on drums and percussion, and Brandon Eggleston mixed.
Ritter said the album marked the start of a new period in his life, with songs bigger and more detailed, like oil paintings on large canvases. The album's title is borrowed from Hamlet, a line from its third act.
