Sarabeth Tucek is an American singer and songwriter. Her self-titled first album was released in 2007, with a second album Get Well Soon in 2011.


She was born in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Manhattan, New York before moving to Westfield, New Jersey as a teenager. She graduated from Westfield High School.[1] She initially intended a career in acting, only starting to play guitar and write songs after meeting Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. After moving to Los Angeles, she made her recording debut in 2003 as background vocalist on a Bill Callahan-produced album, Goodbye Little Doll by EZT (aka Colin Michael Gagon), and on Callahan's own album as (Smog), Supper.[1] One of her earliest live performances featured in the 2004 rockumentary Dig!, which chronicled the relationship between The Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.[2] She also contributed material to Newcombe's 2005 EP release, We Are the Radio. One of Sarabeth's songs on that EP, "Seer," would later be retitled and released in 2006 on the British label Sonic Cathedral Recordings as Tucek's debut single, "Something for You".

She recorded her debut album, Sarabeth Tucek in 2006, with producers Ethan Johns and Luther Russell. The album was released by The Echo Label in 2007. As well as touring solo and with a band, she has toured and performed as a support act with Ray Lamontagne, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Bob Dylan.

Influenced by Dylan, Cat Stevens and Neil Young, her singing voice has been compared to Karen Dalton and her style to Cat Power and Neil Young. In 2009, after moving from Los Angeles back to her hometown, Sarabeth released an early version of a new song, "The Doctor", on the French label Wool and played some shows in that country. Following a break, she recorded her follow-up album Get Well Soon outside of Philadelphia, once again with Luther Russell at the helm. She contributed several songs to the soundtrack of the film **** Year, directed by Cam Archer, which went to the Cannes Film Festival in 2010. After appearing on tribute records to artists as diverse as The Cure, Cy Coleman and Roky Erickson, her second album Get Well Soon, dealing with the aftermath of the death of her father, was released in March 2011, following which she toured the UK.

Sarabeth Tucek - Sarabeth Tucek [2007]
by easter-everywhere.blogspot

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.

BBC Review

"US singer’s tragedy-tainted second album could prove to be a timeless wonder."

by Ian Wade

Miami-born and New York-bred, Sarabeth Tucek has come some way along the road of indie dues-paying, having sung back-ups on Smog’s album Supper and appeared in notorious rock-doc DiG!. And it looked like she could cross over into a relative state of superstardom when she released her eponymous debut album in 2007, especially when a certain Bob Dylan popped up to express his admiration of the singer. Said Ethan Johns-produced set also found a fan in Laura Marling, who subsequently recruited the Brit Award nominee to work on her acclaimed I Speak Because I Can. However, things started to go awry, Tucek’s life taking a turn for the worse.


For her second album Tucek elucidates these tribulations, chiefly those connected to her father’s death, and explores related themes throughout the collection. It features moments of true beguilement, and referencing the greats – a bit of Feist here, Throwing Muses there, along with touches of Karen Dalton, Cat Power and Linda Perhacs – together with a musical menu of Neil Young, The Velvet Underground and even a dash of Big Star, helps to make Get Well Soon a marvel. It proves that through the hard times comes sweetness of a kind, a resolving of the personal Hell that is the loss of a parent. Despite its sombre influences, though, this is an earthy and oddly life-enhancing listen.


Opening with the delicate The Wound and the Bow, second track Wooden sets up the album properly as it bursts into life from gentle beginnings – come its end, it’s exuded a pre-concept-addled Pink Floyd rock-out warmth. State I Am In broods Breeders-like into classic Sister Lovers territory, while The Fireman is especially pleasing, Tucek recounting with touching detail a dream she had about her father: "The fireman saved many a home / But the fireman could not save his own." The closing title-track allows her to put some distance between so much grief – the dislocation, pleading and real life’s butting in – and where she is today. It wraps up what must have been a dreadful couple of years, and bookends this collection perfectly.


There are around 20,000 records like this released every year by female troubadours. But there’s something just very right, and really quite splendid, about Get Well Soon. It could well prove to be a timeless little wonder. 3-31-2011
