Tucker Zimmerman - Over Here In Europe

"I still feel today that in terms of musical sound this is my best album.” Tucker Zimmerman. The first vinyl re-issue of Tucker Zimmerman’s exquisite, sonically groundbreaking 1974 album. A self-described ‘songpoet’, Zimmerman’s long and storied life as an American ‘exile’ in Europe has so far produced nine studio albums and many hundreds of poems. And more recently, led to his current collaborations with Big Thief. Running through it all is a sustained, singular will to create beautiful low key, low ego art on the biggest, most timeless themes. As Tucker says of this recording - “After years of writing and filling a box with over 500 song sheets I had finally found my path, my originality, my voice. It had become clear to me in the previous year that songs of only one kind were worth spending time on: those which had a positive message and a peaceful vibration. I still feel that these are the only kind of songs worth writing... No anger. No politics. No teaching. Just poetry. Little hums that perhaps might lift us all above our daily worries and fears, little hums that try to make the world a better place to live in.”
