KEXP & Tallest Man On Earth - 10 years later, I STILL listen to this regularly as one of THE BEST acoustic performances ever recorded. I love everything about it. Amazing work all.

[VitoHicks]

If KEXP was smart they would work a deal out to press some of these full performances on vinyl. I would buy a copy of this. Does anyone else agree?

[ADOC]

I don't think it's a stretch to say, this is one of the greatest acoustic performances of all time. It's astounding how good it is. His soul is travelling through the music. Absolutely wonderful.

[CaptainFicus]

His guitar work is so damn impressive..seriously one of the best folk artists of all time

[ericfurman]

One of the most humble, brilliant musicians out there

[michaeldalessandro]

The prime example of a man who speaks through his music. He must have been through alot in his life, you can tell because of his inability to really talk about anything physically, but listening to his lyrics, you can see how beautiful his though process really is! Love love LOVE this performance!

[AndiMichael]

many people find that music just a man with guitar is boring... well, for me guitar and a singer is perfect for a music, there's no distraction from the drum and other instrumen... perfect pure melody

This man taught me about alternate tunings. Now it is like I rediscovered my guitar and I can't stop playing his songs.
If you have the opportunity go and see him live. I did a few weeks ago and it was brilliant.

[spmurenc]

if his songs are really as personal as it's said, i swear to god, i have never heard a more beautiful soul than his. His music doesn't make me feel happy or sad or remember beautiful things, it makes me feel content and worthy. and the feeling is way underrated, because personally, it sets me free. i don't know why, it's just so liberating.

[dunderbunz]

Probably the best songwriter no one has heard of. My all time favorite. I just hope I get the pleasure of seeing him play someday soon.

One year passed and I'm still in love with all this songs

[nereamolina]

It's amazing to me how just one man and one guitar can sound this good! He is awesome.

[NSJorge]

This performance has something magical to it.
I find myself coming back to this video lots of times.
Good stuff.

[siegurd]

If I could put a thousand thumbs up it's on this video that I'd use it ! So much feelings each time I watch it ....

[bogdanbuda]

it is interesting how he expresses so much in his music,
but just do not ask him to talk about it.

[thejock]

Proud to have such a great singer-songwriter from my own country! Amazing artist and an amazing perfomance!

[mastinpilger]

It's a difference of night and day seeing him expressing his emotions in his songs and expressing his intentions in the interview

[jacobboyette]

"I don't have a little brother, I am a little brother"

Ow, my feels

[annereddin]

My two favorite songs...The Tallest Man On Eath - King Of Spain & Noah Clouds - The wind does blow with a vengeful slur.

[mikeeckroth]

He is one of my all-time (well 23yrs time) favorite artists and this is my favorite recording of him.
