The Tallest Man on Earth

The Tallest Man on Earth was brought to my attention by SiriusXMU. It's a one-man band featuring Kristian Matsson from Leksand, Sweden. This guy claims to draw inspirado from: Bob Dylan, bob hund, Skip James, Feist, Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Roscoe Holcomb, Velvet Underground, Son House, Charley Patton, Henry Thomas, Dock Boggs, Nick Drake, Billie Holiday.

Bob Dylan is the obvious comparison. But as Paste.com states, "The Tallest Man doesn’t sit meekly at Dylan’s feet; he stands atop his forebear’s shoulders. Maybe that’s why he’s so tall."

In this video he simply walks the streets playing and singing. Very cool.
