Listened to Moon Pix and You are Free a lot when the latter came out. The first covers album sandwiched in between as well. Such an interesting artist at the time. My favourite off Moon Pix:

TBF she had a rep as being very underwhelming live and her more recent stuff isn't much to write home about. Not someone I've made an effort to see.

83-year-old poet and songwriter Tucker Zimmerman has had something of a cultural Forrest Gump of a career, and 2024 has found him gaining new-found fame.
Acclaimed album Dance of Love, out on 4AD records, is the result of a collaboration with fans who tracked him down in Belgium to record: folk-rockers of the moment Big Thief.
It’s Tucker Zimmerman’s 15th album, in a recording career that stretches back to a 1968 debut produced in London with producer Tony Visconti - while another fan, David Bowie, waited in the corridor outside.
Bowie, says Visconti, considered Zimmerman on a par with Bob Dylan, another 83-year-old proving age is no disability.
In 2003, speaking to Vanity Fair, Bowie named Ten Songs By Tucker Zimmerman one of his favourite albums, while also wondering what ever happened to him. Big Thief and 4AD have resolutely answered that question.
As a teen in San Francisco in the ‘50s, Zimmerman hung out with the Beat Generation, performing his first poems at the City Light Bookshop. He stayed on for the Haight Ashbury hippie scene (almost joining the Grateful Dead) but then, dodging the Vietnam War draft, got a scholarship to study composition in Rome.
By the ‘70s Zimmerman was an early adopter of synthesisers, all the while avoiding the mainstream, living in a cottage in Belgium away from the industry.

^^ that has been popping up in my IG feed relentlessly for weeks 
Summery pop song from a Canadian psychedelic band. I got into them last year, but this didn't really hit me until I was kicking a ball around before training in the first warm and sunny day of the year (might have started grooving to myself in the middle of the pitch while the ladies rocked up )
