The Tallest Man on Earth


He's Swedish, but his English-language lyrics are so rich and dense I can only skim their surface. His primary musical gig is touring with a metal band, but his own work would make the young Bob Dylan green with folkie envy. And his guitar + vocal performance so rivets me I have to stop what I'm doing every time I hear him.

After a certain age, you wonder whether you can ever find a new act which captures your mind and soul like the music you listened to as a teenager did.

Yes. Yes, you can.
