josh t pearson: "last of the country gentlemen"

a collapse? a journey to and from despair? a confessional? probably. a darkly beautiful album? definitely. this is the sound of a man who has traveled to a place most people don't return from, and he's brought back some cautionary tales.

this is an album that explores the fine lines between love and hate, apathy and dependency, joy and desolation, that exist when you commune with god, women and booze. ultimately though this a triumphant message; a sermon of hope and redemption.
