iTunes Review

The former leader of the Texas cult-indie-Americana band Lift To Experience, Josh T. Pearson has an unusual musical vision. His songs drift beyond the breaking point until they are well past the country, folk and blues that initially inspired them. Pearson creates lonesome extended works that defy categorization. There’s a self-exorcism going on here that’s as naked and obsessive as the obsessions he sings about. Recorded in two nights in a Berlin studio, Last of the Country Gentlemen is a stirring masterwork. “Thou Art Loosed”, the three-minute intro, features singing that escapes into a wordless moan, into the ether of the big sky country. “Sweetheart I Ain’t Your Christ” chases its desperation for over 11 minutes. “Woman When I Raised Hell” adds a longing violin to address his alcoholism. Every song demands and deserves its excessive length. For the silences are every bit as shattering as the lyrics.

Customer Reviews

Genius

As a fan of Lift To Experience I wondered how Josh T. Pearson would be able to better the brilliance of their sole album 'The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads' , but somehow he has managed it.

'Last Of The Country Gentlemen' is the album I have spent the last 10 years hoping he would make and now it is here i cannot stop listening to it.

The album is an understated work of genius - beautiful from beginning to end.

If he keeps making records as good as this Josh T. Pearson will undoubtedly be seen in years to come as a classic artist and like Bob Dylan's 'Blood On The Tracks', Spiritualized's 'Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' or Ryan Adams' ' Heartbreaker' - 'Last Of The Country Gentlemen' is on of the classic "break - up records"

A classic album in the making

Last of the Country Gentlemen is not an easy listen, but it is one of the greatest and most compelling albums I have ever heard. Josh T. Pearson is a truly unique and special artist and deserves to be cherished. A classic album and artist in the making.

10 Stars!

Not one for reviewing albums though this is an exceptional release by a true artist that deserves to be heard. It only takes one listen before you're hooked.

'Sorry with a song' has been on repeat!
