With excellent cover songs such as Paul Simon’s “Graceland” in his repertoire, it comes as no surprise to hear the Tallest Man on Earth, aka Kristian Matsson, work John Hartford’s “Gentle on My Mind” — a chart-topping late ’60s tune covered famously by Glen Campbell, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, and others — into his set so comfortably. Matsson first debuted his poignant live take at Coachella last month, and now a decent clip has surfaced from the Tallest Man’s recent solo gig in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
