This record is a must-listen for those looking for a new sound in country music. Tucker describes his music as “a blend of the Travelling Wilburys’ charm with a touch of John Prine’s poetic storytelling.” The first single, By Your Side, is a powerful ode to a lost love that Tucker will go to great lengths to find. His raw and emotive vocals are complemented by a rich and soulful Americana sound, with the occasional electric guitar flourish that evokes memories of late nights cruising down country roads. The single’s accompanying music video captures the essence of a road trip, with snapshots of vast open landscapes and endless horizons.
The EP continues with the same sense of adventure and nostalgia as By Your Side. Blues influences are woven throughout Tucker’s masterful storytelling, evident in songs like Gambling Man and Ever Since She Turned My Head. Each track showcases Tucker’s ability to capture both the grandeur of the American landscape and the intimacy of personal experiences. Although his music may sound effortlessly timeless, Tucker’s journey has been one of hard work and dedication. He started playing guitar at the age of 8 and wrote his first song at 11. Music became a source of stability for Tucker during the ups and downs of life. He first gained recognition in the synthpop duo The Fizzgigs, but it wasn’t until he formed the garage rock band Albino after university that he began touring extensively. Ben Tucker’s EP is a testament to his love for music and his appreciation for the beauty of the countryside. It’s a must-have addition to any music lover’s collection. Be sure to check it out on all platforms.
