This is shameless Ryan Lintelman baiting, this is. And as if the current obsession singing the favorite album wasn’t enough, he makes liberal use of jangly banjo. Oy.

The Tallest Man On Earth - “Graceland” (Paul Simon Cover) (2010)

I don’t think it’s possible for any cover to hold a candle to the original of this song. The first time I heard Paul Simon sing:

She comes back to tell me she’s gone. As if I didn’t know that, as if I didn’t know my own bed. As if I’d never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead.

I was sold. It started my journey down the Paul Simon catalog road, and I’ve never looked back.

However, that’s not to say this isn’t as good as a cover of this song can be. And it does well demonstrate the power of The Tallest Man On Earth’s (AKA Swedish Singer/Songwriter Kristian Mattson).

If voices could kill.

ryan you know me too well.
