Josh T Pearson announces solo album and tour dates
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 1 March 2011
Texan troubadour Josh T Pearson, formerly of cult trio Lift To Experience, has announced details of his debut solo album ‘Last Of The Country Gentleman’, which is set for release on 14 Mar via Mute.
Pearson says of his poignant new LP: “It’s funny, after all this time, to come back and release such a sad, sad record. I wanted it to be a record that, if I don’t put out another one for ten years, then it’s a good enough record to end on. It’s absolutely honest, full of despair. You really have to sit down and listen to it, and it takes something out of you, but it’s worth it”.
Pearson is due to make a number of appearances at this month’s SxSW, and also has a number of UK gigs in his diary…

25 Mar: Glasgow, Stereo
27 Mar: Manchester, Deaf Institute
