Acoustic melancholy doesn't come much more heartbreaking than the work of former Lift To Experience frontman Josh T Pearson.

From his new album 'Last of the Country Gentlemen', we're giving readers of the Independent Online an exclusive free download of track "Woman when I've raised hell" so you can find out for yourself.

and this guy really really really likes the new album ~> www.gloriousnoise.com/reviews/2011/josh_t_pearson_last_of_the_cou.php

How do you grade a perfect album? More to the point, how do you review an album so remarkable that its perfection will ultimately turn most listeners off?

And here is something else that will blow your mind: Most of the people who end up disliking Last Of The Country Gentlemen after they’ve heard it still won’t be able to pan it very much, because that would be like piling more agony on a guy that sounds like he’s just had the worst day of his entire life.

you bet!

from a lift to experience forum i got this link:

www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=335464

the new album is shipping now and comes with a bonus 5-track disc with electric versions of the tracks. i figured the dollar conversion and with shipping it would be about $25 ... times are tough now so i'll be waiting for the u.s. release on march 29th.

33? eh, should've been higher

but i don't keep up with new(er) music these days

this pearson thing is really good .. though i listened to the above youtube 'woman when i've raised hell ..' so many times that the album version (with strings and stuff) sounds not as good to me

still, it's nice to hear something new other than the texas/jerUSAlem thing 10 years past ..

really good

i gotta rip that youtube that there up above 'cause it's muy bien
