UncutMar 29, 2011Josh Pearson has gone there so we don't have to--we should be grateful he's returned to tell the tale. [Apr 2011, p.72]

Mar 23, 2011Once you press play on this wonderful record, Josh T. Pearson will take you with him. It might be painful, but you will savour every tear and be thankful for the bruises. Be greatful for this dark pariah.

Mar 23, 2011Pearson's mournful growl, and the brutal honesty in raking over his personal failings, makes for a majestic, in-the-dead-of-the-night confessional.

Apr 5, 2011There's nothing truly transgressive or illuminating or innovative about Last of the Country Gentlemen.
