The Tallest Man on Earth: Best of the New Generation of Folk!

I tend to think of this remarkable musician as a neo-Dylan. His real name is Kristian Matsson. Though he is a native of Dalarna, Sweden, he composes his songs in English. He plays guitar, banjo, and piano with a very advanced technique. Since 2006 he has released two full-length albums and two EPs that I would genuinely recommend to anyone and everyone. He performs under the moniker The Tallest Man on Earth, though in reality he is not the tallest man on the Earth. He is an absolutely amazing lyricist and his finger picking is bewildering! He is one of those musicians that can radiate the feel of a full band from one instrument. Watch this video of his song “The Gardener” and prepare to be astonished!
