| In 2008, the 25-year-old Kristan Mattson from Sweden came up with an audacious idea: he decided to give Americans a taste of their own music. He set off on tour, supporting Bon Iver, and turned out to be an unexpected sensation, proving his talent at SXSW and Primavera, and recording the albums “Shallow Grave” and “The Wild Hunt,” his latest. The Tallest Man On Earth sounds more like the son of Bob Dylan than Dylan’s son does. His acoustic, guitar-driven ballads contain the same dose of emotional truth. |
