The Music of Pearson Perry

Pearson Perry tried being a normal citizen, graduating ten years ago from the University of Georgia, she left Athens to pursue something 'practical'. That apparently wasn't her calling as she missed her little blue guitar far too much to be just a normal capitalist. She left the business of making money and listened to the voice inside her head that convinced her that music would revive that creative person that she was missing too much. She has spent the last year shaping and perfecting her songs and rekindling the 'femme fatale' that her husband claims has been dominating everyone and everything over the years, she just didn't recognize it until now. Her songs are playful, meaningful; thought provoking and most importantly well written, guess the university degree came in handy after all Pearson. In particular the powerful song 'Yell, Yell, Yell' written about her aunt Martha, murdered by her husband who had a history of domestic violence leaving four young children without a mother. In the song 'Almost' she shows us her sense of humour, almost as smart as my brother/ almost as pretty as my mother/ almost as charming as my dad/ almost is all I ever had. She may look like the sweet girl next door on the exterior but she has no problem writing about the vulgar side of life, take the song 'Shelf 5', my personal favorite. I'll take two more lumps of vulgarity in my tea please! Pearson is in the studio recording some new songs, hopefully an album is in the works for the near future.
