watch The Tallest Man on Earth cover Bruce Springsteen, Bon Iver & Joni Mitchell
The Tallest Man on Earth has been doing weekly livestreamed performances on YouTube on Fridays; previously he celebrated the 10th anniversary of his sophomore album The Wild Hunt by playing it in full, and this past Friday he marked a decade (technically eleven years now) of Bon Iver‘s 2009 EP Blood Bank with a cover of its title track. It’s a beautiful rendition, given an extra twang from Kristian Matsson’s choice of instrument, banjo, and you can watch it below, beginning at 56:45.
Kristain did other covers during his Friday livestream, too, of Bruce Springsteen‘s “Tougher Than the Rest,”(beginning at 52:00), Joni Mitchell‘s “A Case of You” (beginning at 32:15), and Damien Jurado‘s “Museum of Flight” (beginning at 16:26). You can watch those, and the whole thing, below.
UPDATE: The next Tallest Man on Earth livestream, on Friday at 3 PM ET, will be all covers, and Krisian is taking requests.
