Seriously! When will people actually get over the irony of the naming "the tallest man on earth"! he's clearly less than average height, hence the name in the first place! Stop commenting on it and enjoy the genius!!!
Okay, so maybe it's not a clawhammer part. Either way, I haven't ever really seen anyone play in this style; he's strumming with the nails of some fingers, plucking strings with others, and thumb picking the bass line. He's like some kind of modern twenty-something Son House. Ridiculous.
@GabrielBacon a burger is the perfect trophy for any man. But this is not just any man. Give this man a burger he'll never forget. Because I will never forget this man's music.
We produced this show in Saratoga Springs... I offered him 6 US dates, two of my own--which brought him ti USA for 1st time, This was the 2nd one; the 1st was earlier that day in Albany. Over 100 degrees;when we got to the P-Glass, he was spent. But he came to life @ showtime...My biggest regrets was l not getting my usual soundboard mix....Great set. I think there are 500 people now claiming they were there that night. Funny, but I only counted about 100!
i just saw him play the other night @ highline ballroom.. first thing i said when i saw him standing outside before the show was "hm, he's not that tall." he's like 5'8"
Sounds like he's censoring himself here; in the EP recording of this song he sings "I see Jesus and Judas making love", a radical thing to say in any era. Here he swaps the line for something I can't catch, smirking when he does it, maybe a private joke with himself and whoever else may have caught it.
I'm the same height at Kristian but he's still Taller than me

@joshhead1313 Isn't it, "I see Jesus and Judas making love now of course?"
It's followed by "All the Roman emperors hanging up their whores." So it would be wierd to rhyme whores with whores.
