Cat Power
Cat Power was the alias of Chan Marshall, a Southern-bred singer/songwriter whose father, Charlie, was an itinerant pianist. After dropping out of high school, Marshall found herself in New York; performing under the name Cat Power, she was booked as the opening act for Liz Phair, where she met Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and Two Dollar Guitar's Tim Foljahn, who agreed to become her backing band. Following the release of 1995's Dear Sir and 1996's Myra Lee -- both recorded on the same day -- Cat Power signed to Matador for 1996's...[more]

The long awaited new album from one of the most powerful voices and minds of her generation or any other, "You Are Free" marks Chan Marshall's first album of original material in nearly four years. Achingly beautiful and carefully crafted, "You Are Free" is most assuredly not easy listening. Great albums rarely are. Features guest appearances from Bill Callahan and (no joke) Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl.

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Cat Power's 1998 album Moon Pix continues Chan Marshall's transformation from an indie rock Cassandra into a reflective, accomplished singer/songwriter. Where her previous works were an urgent, aching mix of punk, folk, and blues, Moon Pix is truly soul(ful) music: warm, reflective, complex, and cohesive.

Cat Power is the nom de plume of Chan Marshall. Her last record, "Moon Pix," was released in September 1998 and was hailed 'round the world as a paragon of modern songwriting. On "The Covers Record," Chan applies her remarkable interpretive skills to a wide variety of influences, accompanying herself on only piano or guitar. Almost gruesome in its melancholy (think "Pink Moon," "Drama Of Exile," "Music For A New Society..."), she de/reconstructs these songs often to the point of unrecognizability. The resul [ read more ]
