Contrary to what the name suggests, this is not the tallest man in the world (cue massive groan from reader), but alas, he is a darn good listen!
The music this man creates makes you want to hang with Nick Drake and Bob Dylan (Nick Drake may be a bit harder to hang with than Dylan these days, for obvious reasons), paying a quick trip to Joni Mitchell’s house before heading out into the woods to make instruments out of sticks & ferns, singing about life and making hugely successful records, to quote Tommy Cooper: “Just like that!”
Ok, he may try to sound like Mr Dylan a bit too much at times*, but that’s not a bad thing, is it?
But who hasn’t tried to sound like someone more successful than themselves? I dare anyone to raise their hand if you haven’t stolen a joke from a comedy show to sound funnier, go on, I DARE you...
...didn’t think so.
Now that we’ve established that we’re all marauding plagiarists, check out his tunes!
