''Last of the Country Gentlemen'' is a single disc album release from Texan musician Josh T. Pearson. The album was recorded in Berlin in two nights, freshly written and committed to tape after Pearson saw how the songs affected audiences when he played them live.〔(Amazon.co.uk: Last Of The Country Gentlemen ) (Josh T. Pearson )〕 The recording, which was released in March 2011 by Mute Records is the first solo album from Pearson. == History == All the songs on the new album (the first since 2001) are all new, according to Josh T. Pearson. "The last couple of years I got sober and started working again with a little more discipline. Before I was writing all the time but never finishing," he told ''Q magazine''.〔''Victoria Segal''. Q magazine, April 2010. New Albums. Introducing Josh T. Pearson. Q&A. p. 105.〕 If there was any pressure at first for a new material, in a couple of years it was gone: The album, recorded in "cold, cold Berlin", came as a result of a relationship he described as "pretty heartbreaking" and was difficult to create. "I went grey overnight... It was one of the most painful times of my life. I can't listen to it. I haven't listened to it since we've finished it", he said. For a while Pearson thought the album shouldn't be released at all, so painful was the feel. "It's why people go to a priest - so no one else hears you. But playing songs live seemed to help people. I don't know if it's a big mistake, but it's coming out now. Maybe it can do some good," he said.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Last of the Country Gentlemen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
