Tucker Zimmerman is an 83-year-old folk artist who debuted in 1969. He is set to launch his latest album, Dance Of Love, later this week. Produced by Big Thief, who are known for their admiration of Zimmerman and have collaborated with him on stage and through their label, this album features them as his backing band. Previously, tracks like “Burial At Sea,” “The Idiot’s Maze,” and “The Season” were shared, and now Zimmerman has released a new single titled “Lorelei,” featuring Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker.
The song “Lorelei” doesn’t reference the show Gilmore Girls, even if it would be amusing if it did. It possesses a gentle, dreamy quality, complemented by the soulful harmonies of Zimmerman and Lenker. In a statement, Zimmerman reflects, “I’m turning Lorelei on her head in this song. Enough luring sailors on the river to their destruction. Time to head for the hills with a silver harp and bring some peace into the world.” Take a listen to the track below.
The album Dance Of Love is scheduled for release on October 11 via 4AD.
