From May 30 of this year, at the Sasquatch Music Festival, here is Swedish-born Kristian Matsson, more popularly known as The Tallest Man On Earth, with his own unique take on the title track from Paul Simon’s 1986 album “Graceland.”

Heard on the 7-14-10 edition of Tree With Roots, this version represents all that is good about a cover song: an original performance of another artist’s music and lyrics.
