Never released before collection featuring Ian A Anderson & Maggie Holland recorded 72-80 is among Tucker’s finest - Free-ranging, Playful, Intimate - his Songpoet imagination unbound and in full bloom.
Recorded between 1973-76 this is the first ever release for ‘I Wonder If I’ll Ever Come True’ a stunningly beautiful, homegrown collection by Songpoet Tucker Zimmerman and friends.
The range and depth is astonishing.
From the heady surreal journey of ‘It All Depends Upon the Pleasure Man’, to the uplifting Gene Clark-esque 'So It Goes’, to some of his most beautiful & touching love songs in ‘Let’s Start Over Again’ & ‘Song’.
Only one song has seen the the light of day before now - ‘Taoist Tale’ from his 1984 album ‘Word Games’.
This recording from a decade earlier loses no power in its folkier stripped down style driven by Tucker’s strong narrative.
While living in bucolic seclusion in Belgium with Marie-Claire, Tucker invited visiting musicians (Derroll Adams, Wizz Jones, Maggie Holland, Dave Evans, Ian Anderson) into his home studio to play and live tape whatever songs he had at hand.
Maggie Holland and Ian A Anderson feature, while Tucker found a freeing simplicity in just guitar, ’70s organ, bass and piano.
We are so grateful to Ian A Anderson, who carefully kept and curated these recordings from 50 years ago.
“Every time I would leave, Tucker would hand me another tape full of songs”.
Ian worked with Tucker and ourselves to present this wonderful album.
The collection is among Tucker’s finest - free-ranging, playful, intimate - his Songpoet imagination unbound and in full bloom.
The ethos, the playing, the freedom, feels like Ronnie Lane’s time in the Welsh Borders.
Unhurried, liberated, down-home and cosmic.
Extraordinary music made among friends.
Big thanks to Collin Jordan for his brilliant mastering work.
“Zimmerman conjures up a kind of Arcadian folk surrealism that is utterly his own”
