Greatest Reissue With Slipcase

Cat Power

I can still remember driving around the remote south-western corner of Ireland in 2000 and pulling into a caf in a small town no-one would have heard of and on the stereo was her fantastic_Covers Record_, an album I had been falling in love with for six months or so. I was very chuffed to experience her music in such an unexpected way, despite having played the album a hundred times already. A new Cat Power album is always a highlight of the year for me. This is not, despite the title, a ‘greatest hits’ album, but an all-new record from one of our favourite women of song. Cat Power (Chan Marshall) is not a prolific artist (this is only her third album of new songs in eight years), which makes this all the more special. Backed by some legendary Memphis musicians, this is not exactly what you would expect but they provide lightness and - dare I say it - some joy - to an artist not normally associated with such things. The first track (title track of the album) really grabs you from the start and is definitely one of the best songs she has ever recorded. Look, what can I say - I am unashamedly a BIG fan - she is always in Readings’ staff ‘best album’ lists. This record will be one of the records of 2006, so why not get in early and buy the first essential album of the year?
