    "Last of the Country Gentlemen" belongs aside the "Trinity Sessions" as dark brooding masterpiece. By pealing back the emotional layers of pain, Josh T Pearson evokes from a place deep within his soul to create deeply moving benedictions for the heartbroken. The results are nothing short of profound.

    It's a raw and white-knuckled collection, one which captures the phenomenal emotions of the man's solo live sets.

    This solo debut is as commanding: emotional trial ("Woman, When I've Raised Hell") and despair ("Country Dumb") stripped to Pearson's fraught vocals and hypnotic, irregular fingerpicking.

    While no single song on the album comes close to the weight and volume that Lift to Experience was capable of slinging, Last of the Country Gentlemen delivers its own subtle intensity.
