As you could probably guess from the name of my blog, I'm a Dylan fan. With that said, I took a call from a buddy of mine over the weekend, and he suggested I check out 'The Tallest Man on Earth' and his new album The Wild Hunt. He suggested that he is a mix of Bob Dylan and Bon Iver... enough said, I had it downloaded five minutes later.
There were, let's say, "mixed opinions" in this household. My wife was not exactly about to send a thank you card to my buddy for having this scratchy-throated voice serenading her on a beautiful Saturday afternoon; however, I was ecstatic. I've been poked and teased for years for loving Dylan's unique-albeit unrefined-voice. But, I happen to love it. This guy provokes me to think of a young Dylan and reminds me of such albums as The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and The Times They Are A-Changin'. And, before you call me an idiot, I am talking about the folk voice, not the intense political views nor classic poetic style.
As for the Bon Iver part, I don't quite agree, but give a listen to King of Spain and, hopefully, I didn't ruin your Saturday.
Cheers!
