Rolling Stone described Gathering as a combination of country, gospel, and soul. [6]
Rolling Stone is an American monthly magazine that focuses on popular culture. It was founded in San Francisco, California in 1967 by Jann Wenner, who is still the magazine's publisher, and music critic Ralph J. Gleason, which became famous for its coverage of rock music, and for political reporting by authors such as Hunter S. Thompson. In the 1990s, the magazine broadened and shifted its focus to a younger readership interested in youth-oriented television shows, film actors, and popular music. In recent years, it has resumed its traditional mix of content.
Brian D’Ambrosio of Huffington Post said Ritter was uncertain, brisk, and contemplative while remaining intimate to the listener. [7]
