The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt

I don't know if being compared to Bob Dylan vocally is a great compliment, but being compared to him as a songwriter definitely is, and making an album that's comparable in quality to Dylan's best albums is about the best compliment a singer/songwriter can receive. The Wild Hunt is up there with Dylan's classics.
