Episode Details

83-year-old poet and songwriter Tucker Zimmerman has had something of a cultural Forrest Gump of a career, and 2024 has found him gaining new-found fame. Acclaimed album Dance of Love, out on 4AD records, is the result of a collaboration with fans who tracked him down in Belgium to record: folk-rockers of the moment Big Thief.  It’s Tucker Zimmerman’s 15th album, in a recording career that stretches back to a 1968 debut produced in London with producer Tony Visconti - while another fan, David Bowie, waited in the corridor outside.
