The Tallest Man on Earth

   Not the world record holder but instead a folk singer from Dalarna, Sweden. Kristian Matsson aka The Tallest Man on Earth stands out in genre of modern mediocrity, and its not just his strangely unique voice that does it.
    His songs and his guitar burst through an arguably faceless generation of solo folk singers. Easily has become one of my favourite artist of all time. Ok, There are some immediate and obvious comparisons that can be made but after familiarizing yourself with a few tracks he'll sound different that Dylan, I promise.
Raspy, whiny voices over acoustic guitar is not something new but the passion that The Tallest Man on Earth plays with might be, as it has become a rare quality.

After obsessing myself with his music I waited a long time for a new song. Now that its here and he has new album (The Wild Hunt) out in April... I am complete.
