Rock and Pop: Record of the Week - Last of the Country Gentlemen by Josh T Pearson
Published: 10 February, 2011
THERE’S a danger of trivialising this masterpiece by suggesting it’s one for the broken-hearted. But the anguish mournful Texan Josh T Pearson painstakingly lays out has more than a hint of “I feel your pain” about it. Pearson takes his sweet time building each sorrowful track. Stunning, but not for the impatient. (Out March 14, plays Union Chapel May 11.)
