Angel Olsen’s sixth studio album, ‘Big Time’, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy has shared a lo-fi acoustic cover of its title track.Tweedy’s raw, weathered vocals fit the song affably, retaining the original version’s smoky and melancholic spirit.
He shared the cover on his Substack blog, Starship Casual, where he wrote: “Normally I put songs behind the paywall, but this album is brand-new and lovely, and I want everyone with ears to hear it.”Have a listen to the cover here, and see Olsen’s response to it below:Jeff!!!
