Kristian Mattson, a young folk singer from Sweden has caused quite a stir in Europe and the inevitable comparisons to Dylan have been made. I recently did a story on him in my Aural Fixation blog in the member diary section. Kristian performs under the name of the Tallest Man on Earth and he's just released his second album.
I'm posting his song The King of Spain and wondering what other Dylan fans think of his music.
To me, he sounds eeirely like Bob especially during the Freewheelin'/Another Side of Bob Dylan albums. Kristian's lyrics are fantastic but he seems a bit limited to playing a certain kind of music. But that's what everyone said about Dylan before 1965.
