Having grown up listening to Paul Simon, I have no qualms about saying that Graceland is one of my favourite albums of all time, a record I keep on returning to all these years later. So I'm always keen to hear current artists covering tracks from it (or albums such as Return To The Sea and Vampire Weekend, that essentially play out as extended homages). Back in 2006, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone put out a limited 7" featuring their version of the title track; now, The Tallest Man On Earth have tackled the same song. Head on over to Music vs. Misery to hear it; it's a great interpretation of what truly is an amazing song. And if you haven't already checked out the new Tallest Man album The Wild Hunt, you should make time to do so.
