While the production on the debut LP of Swedish folk singer The Tallest Man On Earth (Kristian Matsson) is raw, lo-fi & not exactly immediate, his voice & guitar playing are deceptively melodic. Songs may appear simple, but the vivid, character-filled storytelling transports the listener to another time & place… And the song-writing is often sublime, with rhymes appearing natural & effortless. Most impressively, ‘Shallow Grave’ never sounds like a Swede impersonating someone from America’s south, so any fan of folk should love this half hour. Recommended Tracks: The Gardener, I Won’t Be Found, Where Do My Bluebirds Fly & The Sparrow and the Medicine.

"The Blizzard's Never Seen the Desert Sand", "Pistol Dreams" and "Where Do My Bluebirds Fly" are the bomb.

I never thought I would say this Dougie, but I think a folk album is gonna make my year-end list. 'The Wild Hunt' is really growing on me.
