Tucker Zimmerman and Buck Meek join host Raina Douris

When Big Thief’s Buck Meek first heard the music of folk artist Tucker Zimmerman he heard a kindred musical soul. Zimmerman, who has been recording since the 1960s, made his latest album, Dance of Love, with Big Thief. Both Zimmerman and Meek talk about how they found each other and made music together.
