Watch Angel Olsen cover Tucker Zimmerman for Best Fit's secret sessions at End of the Road
Angel Olsen performed her own take on cult songwriter Tucker Zimmerman's 1977 track "Slowin Down Love" as part of her secret set for The Line of Best Fit at End of the Road Festival earlier this weekend.
Zimmerman has released nine studio albums since 1969 and is currently working with Big Thief on a new record, following a stint touring together last year. "Slowin Down" has been a mainstay of Olsen's set since last summer.
Olsen joined the likes of Samia, Future Islands, Kara Jackson, Caitlin Rose and The Anchoress who all played for Best Fit's Secret Sessions this weekend. The sessions have become a key part of End of the Road each year, bringing together artists from across the line-up in a series of short sets, exlusive cover, collaborations, and live interviews and Q&As.
Past guests in the secret sessions have included Lucy Dacus, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Kurt Vile, Moses Sumney, Alex Cameron, Laura Marling, Patti Smith, and Frightened Rabbit - who played a now iconic version of "The Modern Leper".
End of the Road Festival concludes tonight with headline sets from King Gizzard, Ezra Furman and The Murder Capital.
