I tried this Tallest Man On Earth album as the starting point into his career. Maybe my appreciation for folk music really is very limited but this just comes across to me as music than cannot possibly fail at what it sets out to do. I need risk, excitement! This is probably why I consider ASMZ to be the best folk band and everything else written by less apocalyptic and anarchist "folks" just doesn't cut the mustard.
