The Bob Dylan comparisons become pretty obvious from the first moments of The Wild Hunt, the second album from Swedish folk musician Kristian Matsson AKA The Tallest Man on Earth. Originally released in 2010, TTMOE sings raw, sorrowful, & uplifting lyrics over melodic strums, and the album is the perfect showcase of Matsson’s distinguished songwriting, vocal, and guitar-playing abilities. Stand out tracks include “The Wild Hunt,” “Burden of Tomorrow,” “Thousand Ways,” “The Drying of the Lawns,” and “Love is All.”
