"For Your Soul" turned up in 2023 on Spectral Lines, and it's Josh Ritter writing both words and music, with Sam Kassirer steering the session as producer and recording engineer. Kassirer also stacks the keyboards, clavinet and organ and synthesizer, giving the track a warmer, more electric hum than a lone troubadour and his guitar.
Shane Leonard is close to a one-man rhythm section here, playing drums, electric bass, acoustic guitar and percussion, while Jocie Adams sings alongside Ritter. D. James Goodwin handled the mix.
