Texan Josh T. Pearson is a man whose legendary musical output has only grown in stature over the years. Many will be familiar with the short-lived phenomenon that was Lift to Experience, which released one sprawling masterpiece - 2001′s The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads - before splitting up soon after.
It took Pearson a full decade to make another record – as soon as his Berlin-recorded debut solo album Last Of The Country Gentlemen appeared, it was clear that it was worth the wait.
Following on from a string of sold out London shows – at The Slaughtered Lamb, the Purcell Rooms and the Union Chapel - Pearson closes 2011 with this very special Barbican concert.
Praise for Last Of The Country Gentlemen :
“a modern classic” The Times
“Pearson is a one of a kind artist and words can’t describe how fucking good Last Of The Country Gentlemen is – heavy, beautiful and brilliant.” Mark Lanegan
“like a doomed angel singing over a desert storm” Bat For Lashes
“Pearson is an emotional potholer - and he's come back clutching diamonds” Evening Standard
“A truly magnificent record” Drowned In Sound (10/10)
“...beautiful, stark and to be treasured” Clash
“his solo debut is worth every second of the wait” Q
“America's lost genius returns” Mojo
“a stone cold masterpiece” Uncut (Album of the Month)
