The Tallest Man On Earth- The Wild Hunt Review

Listen: http://bit.ly/7HLNMJ / http://bit.ly/9zjvNZ

This sophomore album from The Tallest Man On Earth is an unbelievably fresh look at folk music. This album is built from the earth, but doesn't feel archaic like something from the heydays of Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly. This thing doesn't even feel as old as America's folk revival in the 60s. Though there is some obvious Bob Dylan influence going on here, I'm sure The Tallest is equally conscious of his contemporaries like Neil Young, Phil Ochs, or Townes Van Zandt.

Poetic lyrics, picturesque descriptions, great guitar work, and strong songwriting. Not much here in terms of a new or innovative sound, but that's completely unnecessary in this instance. Check this one out, guys.

8/10

Just stumbled upon this album basically. Sure, I am mostly a metal guy with the occasional electronic stuff, I enjoy intricate arrangements, energy, aggressiveness and "catchyness." Not crazy about Dylan or folk in general but damn, this album is so friggin' down to earth that you just have to love it. It's basically the most unpretentious piece of art I have ever experienced. Anyway, I think anybody should listen to this, whatever genre preferences you have. Just try it out.

@MrEasley7 Yeah, the whole speaking-for-the-people thing you've got going on? You can stop that. There's no "we" here. It's just you.

[MrEasley7]

why is it that all you tube personalities are the same pseudo intellectual ramblers. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION.
