Sarabeth Tucek has just released her 2nd LP, “Get Well Soon” – there’s plenty of reviews on the internet so I’ll not bore you with further details. Suffice it to say that fans of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Cat Power … etc. will enjoy this. She’s just basically doing her thing, which involves writing & delivering really good songs – regardless of what’s going on around her. She’s a massive Bob Dylan fan, but I can hear a lot of Neil Young in her songs, especially the loose gritty soulfulness of "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere" and the heavier looser moments of "Harvest" / "After the Goldrush"
Previously she sang with The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Smog (aka. Bill Callahan). Her first album was absolutely great, but is really hard to get hold of. I assume as she was signed to Echo records in the UK, and Echo records is no more, that it’s a classic case of record comes out, label goes bust, record disappears. That’s a shame cos it’s a far better record than a lot of stuff out there.
