The Tallest Man on Earth

He is anything but, however don't judge this book by it's cover!  This Swedish musician makes up for his lack of stature with a big voice and the ability to fulfil the age old meaning of the troubadour - 'A poet who writes verse to music, often about courtly love.

Kristian Matsson grew up playing guitar from a very early age, he spent his teenage years covering Bob Dylan, an influence that laid it's seed soul deep,  musical critics have compared the two both lyrically and vocally ever since.

Classically trained on the guitar his skills form the backbone of his folky style, equally as blessed with his ability to pen a poem, the combination is extraordinary!  Matssons' initial two full length albums pulled on the heart strings, taking you on his travels deep into sadness and lost love, yearning and pain defined the track list.

The latest offering is a breath of fresh air, the injection of positivity and happiness lifts the album to a joyous place!

Although I never reveal my sources of inspiration the credit for finding this amazing song has to be given to Mrs MATTador, every now and again she finds a true ruby in the sand and this is definatly one of them!


Have a listen, I'm sure your day will be better because of it, This track is called 'Leading Me Now'

Por favor, disfrutar de........
