I’ll let you in on a secret; I get sent some of the more leftfield stuff out there, and I enjoyed them. From time to time though, one must come back home, drenching himself again in cathartic, simple vibes, the kind of energy you can find in a Ben Tucker song. Hailing from Cambridge, the vibrant singer-songwriter explores the depth of Americana and Country genres, creating a fictional yet strong link between England and the US.
It takes a real connoisseur to write such a powerful record. Tucker does it perfectly, releasing a 5-track, self-titled EP packed with friendly, uplifting energy and a healthy amount of nostalgia. What more could you want? Among acoustic guitars, fiddles and elegant drums, one will likely get lost in the retro charisma the EP exudes.
You might not be a cowboy, but nevertheless, you’ll find a certain affinity to ‘Ben Tucker’ EP, at least in its relatable lyricism and meaningful outlook. Boasting vibrant Blues tones, Ben’s vocals are just so evocative and melancholic, a great match for his songwriting prowess. Speaking about the record, he explains: “Travelling Wilburys in the sack with John Prine”.
