The Tallest Man on Earth – The Wild Hunt

Here is the new album by The Tallest Man on Earth, The Wild Hunt. It is all here: The words. The voice. The melodies. Ten perfect songs. The Wild Hunt picks up where 2008’s Shallow Grave left off, with Matsson doing what he does best. It is unmistakably The Tallest Man on Earth, from the urgent strums of “You’re Going Back” and the sweet melodies of “Love is All,” to the playful lyricism of live favorite “King of Spain” and the subtle hook on “Burden of Tomorrow.”

Tom Waits – Rain Dogs

Tom Waits (Thomas Alan Waits, Pomona, California, December 7, 1949 ) is a prolific American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. He started his career in the early 1970s as a singer in spit ‘n’ sawdust bars. Initially, he was deeply influenced by the beat generation (novelists like Jack Kerouac, and William S. Burroughs, poets like Allen Ginsberg). He could not make a living from his music, although he was well accepted by the critics.
