Larry,I don't know about Howse,but Jack Pearson I believe is from
Jacksonville,Florida,although I'm not sure about that.He played with the
Allman Brothers Band a few years ago when they were having trouble with
Dickey Betts.He also took over on guitar for the Brothers when Warren Haynes
left the band for a solo carreer.He was then replaced by a very talented and
young slide player by the name of Derek Trucks.I think Pearson may have been
doing his own thing and only filled in for a short while.I believe he also
played with Greg Allman when he did his Greg Allman & friends tours.He's a
talented slide player.I haven't heard any of his solo stuff but it sounds
like good stuff from your review.Thats about all I know about
him.............Dave

I'm sitting here listening to William Howse and Jack Pearson and
wondering

if I'm the only person who never heard these guys before.  I bought
this CD

on the "if you like this, you'll love that" recommendation from CD Baby.

This 1999 CD features William Howse on harp and Jack Pearson on National

steel guitar.  12 tunes, all originals.  Howse/Pearson are an
acoustic blues

duo worth listening to.  Howse plays everything from

chaka-chuka-chuka-chaka-cha-cha rhythms to blow bend solos that will
turn

your head.  Lotsa inventive stuff.  Pearson is every harp
players dream

guitarist.  The quintesstial accompaniest.  He gets a couple
of songs to

shine on.  His vocals are more than competent and his slide is
straight out

of the delta.  I'd highly recommend this CD if your thinking about
delta

acoustic harp.



Does anyone else know about these guys?  Where are they based?
 Has anyone

seen them perform?



Best regards to All,



Larry Boy Pratt
