About
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, <i>Last of the Country Gentlemen</i> 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.
