At some point, if you’re good enough, you pull into view of your heroes and start overtaking them. Olsen is shoulder-to-shoulder with Dusty Springfield and Tammy Wynette here, with lots of Seventies horns and pedal steel. She has a whiplash vibrato that she turns on and off, and can be both withering and completely vulnerable in the same line reading. Country breaks into a dozen American pieces and Angel Olsen is one of them.
