The Tallest Man on Earth - There's No Leaving Now (2012)

Folk musician Kristian Matsson's Bob Dylan-esque voice and gentle, beautiful playing on this album is superb and, in my book, jettisons him into the folk hall of fame along with Iron and Wine. In fact, this album reminds quite a bit of Iron and Wine's debut album with it minimalistic approach although it's not quite as "country-esque" as that one. It's gripping, emotional songwriting that quite readily evokes feelings of nostalgia and sheer admiration. This one is a keeper.
