Last of the Country Gentlemen is the debut studio album by Texan musician Josh T. Pearson.
The album was recorded in Berlin in two nights, freshly written and committed to tape after Pearson saw how the songs affected audiences when he played them live.
[2] If there was any pressure at first for a new material, in a couple of years it was gone: I disappeared for a while, I needed to get out of Texas, get on the road, see some of the world.
For a while Pearson thought the album shouldn't be released at all, so painful was the feel.
[16][17][18] David Edwards of Drowned in Sound gave the album a rare 10/10 review and lauded its emotional power, stating "We share and revere in his redemption, rarely has something so physically fragile sounded so mighty in its emotional resonance.
