iTunes Review
Kristian Matsson bestows a sweet little gift in this 2010 EP comprising four new songs and a reworked version of "Like The Wheel" which was originally a bonus song from his acclaimed second studio album, The Wild Hunt. Here, Matsson's singing returns to the more nasal-inflected approximations of a young Bob Dylan. Sometimes the Blues Is Just a Passing Bird opens with "Little River," a slightly more sprightly paced ditty where Matsson's voice locks into a higher register more reminiscent of Running Down the Road-era Arlo Guthrie. Matsson plugs in on the poetic "The Dreamer," though he continues to play unaccompanied by a band. But that's just fine because his implementation of pickups and an amplifier bring out yet another dimension of his voice where natural tremolos quiver and trill when he's competing for volume with the guitar tone. "Tangle In This Trampled Wheat" boasts arpeggios reminiscent of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" while "Thrown Right At Me" bends and slides with more bluesy aplomb.
Customer Reviews
Another Masterpiece!
At some point you'd think Kristian might miss the mark. Instead, he continues to exceed all expectations.
"The Dreamer" is such a great change of pace. Introducing an electric guitar gives his already extraordinary voice even more texture.
The stripped down version of "The Wheel" is so melancholy that in a weird way, it will make you smile.
TMOE is always worth evert penny and this EP is no different. The best 4.95 you'll spend.
Inspired
I've been so disappointed with music lately. Everything I hear seems familiar and uninspiring. I went months without buying any music and then found The Tallest Man on Earth (a.k.a. Kristian Matsson) on iTunes. What a revelation. I was instantly drawn into the album "The Wild Hunt." The more I listened to it the more mesmerized I became, as though he and his music were supernatural. My wife and I became obsessed with the album. Now I've found this E.P. and instead of working like I should be I'm writing a review. Do yourself a favor and buy this E.P. as well as "The Wild Hunt." Get ready to be lost in this magic.
one of the greatest musicians working today.
Matsson's lyrics get me through a long night at work. everything he does turns to gold.
