Beware if depressed ! (Warning: check!)

Josh T. Pearson -
Last of The Country Gentlemen

You now may discover the beauty of this precious album precious, as rare as a public confession of a dozen tracks.

An acoustic guitar, voice and text to express the inner tension between a kind of Christ like temptation ("I am off to save the world") and accepting ones own limitations ("You need a Saviour and I just am not HIM."), to say how much a human being can feel divine, but also restricted, yet resigned.

The tone is that of pure folk, slow and darkly mesmerizing, completely dominated by the voice and guitar. A record of great beauty, then, off the beaten track.
