Dead Oceans celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Tallest Man on Earth‘s (Kristian Matsson) The Wild Hunt by releasing a bonus track, Matsson’s cover of “Graceland” by Paul Simon. The Wild Hunt was issued by Dead Oceans in 2010 and “Graceland” served as the B-side to single “King Of Spain,” a vinyl release only available for purchase during The Tallest Man On Earth’s European tour that year.

“Graceland” was the title track to Paul Simon’s massively successful 1986 studio album. Matsson is one of many artists who have covered “Graceland” since Simon’s original including Chris Martin, Umphrey’s McGee, Alison Krauss, Brock Butler, Justin Townes Earle and Willie Nelson.
