Pearlene

about

Reuben Glaser and Jesse Ebaugh began performing together around the turn of the century as an acoustic ragtime and delta blues duo, learning from the likes of Reverend Gary Davis, Fred Mcdowell and Blind Willie Johnson. They eventually added electricity, drums, and a name, Pearlene. The band’s all-out, all-night style made instant waves in their native Cincinnati. As Glaser put it, ”The fact that people dance and get sweaty, sexy and crazy at our shows is the best payment. It's a kind of soul level communication that I don't know what I'd do without. It's probably what kept this thing going while we figured out where we were going with it." Free your ass and your mind will follow. The band got its ass on the road playing coast-to-coast US and UK gigs with some of this eras more explosive acts such as, Dead Meadow, The White Stripes, Detroit Cobras and Bellrays, as well as blues and punk survivors like T-Model Ford and Dead Moon. With the aid of several drummers and contributions from members of the Soledad Brothers, Glaser and Ebaugh went on to record two raucous stomp blues records, a self tilted album released by Sympathy for The Record Industry and Murder Blues and Prayer on the L.A. indie label Dimmak. Pearlene went on to get several lengthy features in Fader magazine and Murder Blues was singled out by Denise Sullivan of Rolling Stone as one of her top 10 albums of the year. Though "twangy, bluesy, dirty-ass soul-rock boogie" clichés may apply to some extent, ther
