    Say ZuZu is an Americana rock band from New Hampshire. Originally formed in 1991, Say ZuZu recorded and released nine full-length albums before disbanding in 2003 and reuniting in 2019. The band’s first release on Strolling Bones Records is Here Again: A Retrospective (1994-2002) and includes highlights from the group’s five studio albums recorded during its touring heyday. A new studio record from the band is scheduled for release in 2023 on Strolling Bones Records.

    “For those who haven't met our music before, these are highlights from five records released between 1994-2002. The songs focus on the large internal lives of people in small mill towns like ours. This record also chronicles a decade of growth from a fiercely independent, self-produced New Hampshire band that flew under the radar during the heyday of the 1990s alt-country movement. The title of the record, Here Again, is inspired by a song from our 1994 self-titled record. We've always sought to write songs that hold up, personal songs that are durable and can stand on their own in a variety of arrangements. "Here Again" is one of those songs. It's also a fitting title for a record that's an opening salvo from a recently reunited band with its first new studio record forthcoming in 2023.”

about

"I was enamored of Woody Guthrie’s rambling ways and the imagery in his songs like “Pastures of Plenty.” Woody rambled wherever he pleased, but I had never rambled anywhere in 1994. My father never went to Colorado, but my road-tripping older brother was a ski bum then in Steamboat Springs, and I was deeply envious. I can remember sitting in my bedroom in Newmarket, with the white lilac tree tapping against the window, and writing this on a tiny, moldy Silvertone while wishing I could bust out into the big wide world. Our engineer - Todd Jones - was freaked out by the sheer amount of candy we consumed during this session, and how it made us bounce off the walls."- Cliff Murphy

lyrics

Let me wander through the fields
Let me go where I can feel
I want to sleep out on the mountain
And drift away out in the open
Yeah

I dream of highways, I dream of oceans
I dream of dust clouds and I feel I’m choking
If you see this in my eyes
Let me go there before I die
Yeah

And mother, can you hear me?
And father, can you see me?
And mother, do you know me?
And father, can you see me?

First to Memphis, then Colorado
My fathers went there and I will follow
I will see them on the mountain
And I will feel them out in the open
Yeah

My spirit flows out into the open
The land it calls me, as the Lord has spoken
Let me wander, let me roam, yeah
Spring has come now and I must go
Yeah
