Cat Power

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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]

 

 

Recorded at Memphis, TN's Ardent Studios over the summer by Stuart Sikes, The Greatest while the most confident and life-affirming work of Chan Marshall's career, is as intensely personal, haunting and provocative as any of its predecessors. The album's players are a bona fide All-Star team of Memphis musicians, including Al Green sideman Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy "Flick" Hodges and David Smith on bass, Rick Steff on keys, Jim Spake on sax and trumpteer Scott Thompson amongst others.[ read 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.

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 ]

SPEAKING FOR TREES is a film about Cat Power by Mark Borthwick. It features a unique two-hour single-shot live performance by Chan Marshall in the middle of a forest, with lots of crickets, or cicadas, or some other noisy insect. Shot from a great distance with gloriously grainy color, following in the tradition of Warhol and Wiseman. The DVD also includes 3 nature films set to music from 'You Are Free', and a CD including a single 18-minute long unreleased song saga entitled "Willie Deadwilder," an   [ read more ]
