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.

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.

Though Easley and Shelley are better known for working with much louder, noisier artists than Marshall, they never overpower her sensitive but sturdy mat   [ 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 ]

Eight years is a long time in almost any artist's career, but in Cat Power's case, it's an even more sizable gulf, as Chan Marshall's collections of other people's songs reflect. Released in 2000, The Covers Record found her becoming an ever more nuanced performer, tempering the rawness and intensity of her earlier albums with a lighter approach. Arriving in 2008, Jukebox reaffirms what a polished artist she's become, especially since her Memphis soul homage The Greatest. But where {^The G   [ read more ]
