Last month, Belgium-based, American-born, singer-songwriter Tucker Zimmerman announced his record Dance Of Love and shared its lead single ‘Burial At Sea’. Zimmerman now blesses us with two new singles, ‘The Idiot’s Maze’ and ‘The Season’.
An up-tempo singalong romp with campfire sensibilities, ‘The Idiot’s Maze’ is composed of lively tambourine hits and jubilant head-bobbing bass, it transports listeners into the heartwarming camaraderie fostered by Zimmerman and backing band Big Thief. Meanwhile ‘The Season’ features a processed Casio and pedal steel along with the natural sounds of a powerful thunderstorm behind Zimmerman’s voice, creating an atmospheric, transportive meditation.
Over a career that spans half a century, Zimmerman’s discography is a sonic memoir. A sprawling collection of records that have explored folk, 12-bar blues, full-band rock concertos and classical piano compositions, his work is also a tribute to the people, experiences and sounds that have shaped his life, amassing in a deeply personal and resonating songbook.
Zimmerman was brought to the States to record the album, with Big Thief, Zach Burba (IJI) and Mat Davidson (Twain) serving as his backing band. On many tracks, Lenker meets Zimmerman half-way, their vocals fusing together in a soothing harmony; Zimmerman’s beloved wife of Marie-Claire, who graces the album’s cover, also joined the chorus line.
With Dance Of Love, listeners will find a multi-faceted and heartfelt record from a songwriter who has had a full and exciting life decorated with meaningful friendships, hard but valuable lessons, worldly experience, and ultimately, lots of love.
