The Tallest Man on Earth, “The Gardener”

Normally, one guy + one guitar is not enough rock for me. However, I am easily swayed by a well-written song, a great vocalist, and yes, tall guys (although I am fairly certain Kristian Matsson is not, as advertised, the tallest man on earth). Whatever. The album Shallow Graves actually came out all the way back in 2008, but I stumbled on this song randomly the other day, and I felt compelled to share, for your summer mixtaping pleasure.

He’s currently on tour with John Vanderslice—Pittsburghers and Chicagoans, he’ll be in your fair citays next week.
