Tallest Man on Earth took time to record some of his new songs for WFUV. These pro shot videos are enduring takes on tracks from his new album, There's No Leaving Now. The standout has to be "On Every Page" where Kristian Matsson croons his reminiscence of youth. Matsson is a true lyricist and poet as Dylan is and his songs require repeated [...]

The Tallest Man on Earth puts down the guitar and goes full-band on the Irish classic-rock hit 'Dancing in the Moonlight.'

Photo by Meghan Brosnan Last night, Kristian Matsson (aka The Tallest Man on Earth ) appeared on the Swedish TV show På Spåret , as TwentyFourBit  points out. Backed by a full band, Matsson performed two songs: the Swedish folk tune “En Fattig Trubadur" and a Swedish-language cover of Thin Lizzy's classic “Dancing in the Moonlight (It’s Caught Me in Its Spotlight)”. Thanks to the supporting musicians, Matsson's rendition of "Dancing" showed off a more lush, intricate sound, one that was as recklessly rocking as it was folksy and insightful.

A few recommendations this Tuesday for your listening enjoyment.  I'm going to cut to the chase here as I am sitting at work while doing this!

The Tallest Man on Earth's fantastic cover of 'Gentle on my Mind' showcases both the songwriting talent of John Hartford and Matsson's deft musicianship perfectly.

The Tallest Man on Earth showcased his genius on Later With Jools Holland a couple of weeks ago performing 'King of Spain' with that unmistakable dolorous charm and surely inspiring many a viewer to drop their cheesecake and gawp. I didn't realise, until today, that he had also performed 'Love is All' as a web exclusive earlier on and I must admit, the discovery was more satisfying than punching a fat person in the stomach. I posted a while back about how amazing Mattson is live so it's always good to be able to [...]
