Jack Pearson is the best slide player in Nashville most have never heard of.

[MrHellfinger]

Wow. Such control and precision with the slide. This was a treat. Enjoyed every second.

I'll be in Nashville in the summer. All i want to do is listen to Live music. I can't wait.

[raybede]

between this amazing player and Mr.Trucks they have it all

I love Jack, but this is the new generation doin it! We gotta throw our support behind guys like this!!

[ericgendell]

Great slide playing, great tone. I love what he does with the volume pedal, reminiscent of Jeff Beck. Kudos to the whole band because the front man is only as good as those who play with him.

[SeanEricSpearman]

got to listen to many of the Sacred Steel sliders....Sean Spearman, Calvin Cooke, Robert Randolph, Charles/Chuckie Campbell, Aubrey Gent Jr, Anthony Fox, Frank Owens, Lonnie Bennet...

Gotta say I have so much admiration for someone that can just jam.

I've heard of jack Pearson, so him in Jacksonville several times with Greg Allman and the Allman brothers, he's great especially slide. Fla theater, , !

[ibleebinU]

Nice closing riff on the drums as well. Great jam!

[randallbessinger]

Jack Pearson is not just an awesome slide player. He has total control of the instrument and can play anything. On the Bonamassa blues cruise, other artists were blown away.

[davidwright]

... try to imagine how many best players you never heard of exist. Thousands upon thousands just to begin with. Be thankful..

[BillMizeGuitar]

the guy's very good, but brother Jack Pearson still wears that crown.

[georgejetson]

No such thing as the best, just one of the many who are good.
