Title: Greg Pearle
Post by: TJ on January 29, 2025, 04:37:57 AM

SIAP, but I read today that Greg Pearle passed away in October.  I really like his album with John Illsley, frankly best album John ever made (DS aside).  I know John basically disclaimed that album and Guy said once that Greg was "persona non grata".  I wish I knew what went down between them.

I think I read somewhere Greg had problems with alcohol and was a hard person to deal with. I liked that record a lot and Greg had a great voice. Sad to read he passed away.

Same here, there are some great tracks on that album.
