Across Tucker Zimmerman’s over 50-year career, the Belgium-based/US-born octogenarian folk singer-songwriter has maintained a level of obscurity, earning a reputation as one of American folk music’s most underrated talents. Nonetheless, he has received praise from contemporaries such as 4AD labelmate and collaborator, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker (who notes, “Tucker Zimmerman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time”) and Angel Olsen, as well as some of the greats, from Tony Visconte to David Bowie (who called Zimmerman “too qualified for folk”). 2024 finds Zimmerman finally resurfacing with Dance Of Love, his 11th studio album and 4AD debut, on which Big Thief (and collaborators Mat Davidson and Zach Burba) served as his backing band. With the outcome of their efforts, listeners will find a multi-genre’d, heartfelt tracklisting of uninhibited melodies and transportive meditations from a songwriter who’s had a full and exciting life decorated with meaningful friendships, hard but valuable lessons, worldly experience, and ultimately, lots of love.
