It's my favorite by him and one of my favorite albums ever. Very raw and authentic. His voice is awful, and that's why the record is so good.

Oh no you didn't!

I personally love his voice and think its great! But I can see how it is not pretty, but he does sing these songs amazingly.

This is my 3rd fave. I adore all his officially released albums and eps. I just feel The Wild Hunt and the EP Sometimes The Blues Is A Passing Bird are unbeatable. Oh and if you want a good example of how great Kristian Mattson's voice is listen to song "Love Is All" off The Wild Hunt.

This is the roughest of the 3 officially released LPs from this man. It's his debut. It's a remarkably organic sounding album.

Best Song: "The Gardner" "The Sparrow and the Medicine" and "Where Do My Bluebirds Fly?"

I adore his voice. I just think it is ugly... but beautifully ugly. I mean, if you take someone in the street and make them sing, it will probably be ugly, but just ugly. Whereas this guy has a voice which shouldn't sound good, yet is one of the best I've ever heard. I don't know. It's amazing. Actually in the so-ugly-it's-beautiful style, I prefer him to Dylan (although Dylan's voice is one of my favorite too).

Isn't he the guy who couldn't afford a banjo?

Hmm... I don't know...

And Drakonium, I realized afterwards that tht was probably what you meant, and I actually agree. I adore his and Dylan's voice completely. Both probably in my top 10 fave vox.

Oh hell yes.

Not as good as The Wild Hunt, but I still love this album.

Kristian Matsson is incredible, I love literally everything he's ever done.

I think this comment plus the one you made to me on the BEa Top 400 thread plus your chart plus the comment you left on my chart recently make you one of my new best buds.
