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]

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 ]

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.

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.

Chan Marshall's second album under the name Cat Power, finds the North Carolinian at lo-fi maverick Doug Easley's Memphis studio, her soft, engagingly shy voice and delicate acoustic guitar supported by Easley's pedal steel and Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley's percussion. Though Easley and Shelley are better known for working with much louder, noisier artists than Marshall, they never overpower her sensitive but sturdy material. Sounding more self-assured than she did on her debut, 1995's DEAR SIR, Marsh [ read more ]

The 1996 album Myra Lee presents a more diverse and fully developed version of Cat Power's music, ranging from the winding, acoustic menace of "Enough" to the sinewy rock of "We All Die." Introspective epics like "Great Expectations," "Faces," and "Wealthy Man" use churning tempos and spiraling guitars to convey Marshall's melancholy musical vision, but gentler songs like the trembling cover of Hank Williams' "Still in Love" and originals like "Top Expert" and "Ice Water" are parts of the picture as well, a [ read more ]
