The first vinyl reissue of
Tucker Zimmerman
's 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. Tucker's experimental use of keyboards, synthesizers and that rarest of birds -- the Ondes Martenot (a kind of theremin hybrid) -- creates a shifting palette to lift songs with a classic singer/songwriter feel into something new. Perhaps only the early '70s
Beach Boys
were onto the same idea, albeit with slightly different budgets. Tucker produced this LP himself. Cutting his production teeth with another life friend
Tony Visconti
in London, experimenting with tapes and electronic sounds while working with others on many albums, including
Marsha Hunt
and
Paul Butterfield
, as well as on his own debut (one of
Bowie
's favorite records). Zimmerman is the real deal and
Over Here In Europe
was a new direction which would end seven years later with the excellent
Word Games
, whereupon he paused from the creation of albums in this form.
