Cat Power - Cherokee

Biography

SUN is the new studio album from Cat Power. Six years after her last album of original material, Chan Marshall has moved on from her collaborative forays into Memphis soul and Delta blues. She wrote, played, recorded and produced the entirety of SUN by herself, a statement of complete control that is echoed in the songs’ themes.

Marshall calls SUN “a rebirth,” which is ... Read more in Amazon's Cat Power Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing transformation January 24, 2008
Format:Audio CD
I first saw Cat Power in the Fall of 1996 in a small, half-filled, smokey now-defunct nightclub in Seattle that was owned by Peter Buck of REM's ex-wife. She played an insecure and frightened and very moving set of tracks from her first record, "What Would the Community Think?" She spoke very little to the audience, and looked a little bit like she was performing on the Moon. In fact, the whole show sort of felt that way. Fortunately she still managed to display her talents that evening, and as a number of us lined up to purchase the CD following the show, there was unanimous agreement that this girl had potential. Twelve years later, its remarkable to note the transformation which has occured with this artist. Cat Power has ridden her remarkable talent, and unique perspective on life right to the top of the game. And while the acclaimed "Greatest" was clearly indicative of the hard-earned courage and masterfulness finally possessed by the singer-songwriter adopted from NYC's indie rock scene into the Adult-Oriented Album radio format, "Jukebox" makes a more powerful statement. On this, her latest album focused mainly on covers of her favorite influences, Cat Power reaches a level better described as devestating. One is prone to smiling on your first couple listens as she works her magic into your heart as usual, only this time, not so much asking you to welcome it, but ramming it into you. She demonstrates an impressive culmination of fortitude and soul that arrives best through the type of battle-scarred experience that she has had. A veritable music warrior for years, Cat Power is now an all-star working her way toward the hall-of-fame. PS - the best 2 tracks may even be her own "Metal Heart" and "Song to Bobby." Get it and get ready to love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars the old and the new February 1, 2008
By Eric
Format:Audio CD
The album to compare this to is her first covers album The Covers Record; that was from 2000, and the young singer has grown and changed a lot since then. Her stunningly stark, almost gothic (but spare) setting of some familiar and lesser known songs was raw and powerful then. Now she's working with experienced musicians, and is more experienced herself, and the sound is warmer, more assured, more rock and blues oriented. I like the new disc fine, but only a few tracks really stand out: a new version of "Metal Heart" that is moody and acoustic, and her love song to Aretha Franklin, whom you can really cite as an influence on her current retro-rock sound. Chan Marshall is feeling her Southern Soul roots.

The point of this review, however, is to say that if you're a fan of her earlier albums, be sure you get this deluxe version with the extra E.P., because it's actually better than the main album. Here you find the Patsy Cline classic "She's Got You," but Chan's delivery makes even Patsy's version sound happy in comparison, plus an epic and meandering and devastating version of "Angelitos Negros." The EP has an overall downbeat vibe that recalls the stripped down and minimal Cat Power of old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the deluxe edition February 16, 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
That's right indie kids, Chan is less depressed and therefore able to express a greater range of emotion, in music that will likely appeal to more people. And that, of course, makes the music inferior to stuff that only you and your hipster friends appreciate--I mean, what the hell's the point of listening to something that doesn't make you feel like the coolest kids in the dorm? Alright, enough sarcasm. This may be Cat Power's best album yet, with its trippy tortured version of "Blue" and the original "Song for Bobby" which just might have Mr. Zimmerman seeking a restraining order. The real point of this review, however, is to point out that the songs on the bonus disc in the Deluxe Edition are NOT the usual "bonus" crap that was rightfully left off of (or not even considered for) the actual album. So, it's the one to get, especially considering that, last time I looked, the Deluxe Edition was actually selling at a lower price than the non-deluxe version (and even if that's changed, it's worth whatever extra couple of bucks makes up the difference).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not "The Greatest" - But Very Close January 27, 2008
Format:Audio CD
Following up The Greatest - which by many accounts was just that for her - Chan Marshall apparently turned to her iPod for inspiration. Where else would you find the songs ranging from Nick Cave to Joni Mitchell to Bob Dylan to Billie Holiday? However instead of the almost painfully spare production of 2000's Covers, this one is fully fleshed out with the likes of Spooner Oldham and Larry McDonald making guest appearances in addition to the several of the musicians who added so much to the musical landscape of her previous outing. Nonetheless, even given the talented players manning the hardware, it's Marshall's voice - powerful, harsh, and yet amazingly tender - that's the star of this show. That same voice gives her the courage to take "New York" and if not own it outright, at least gain some level of joint custody. Perhaps the pinnacle of this successful album is her interpretation of Dylan's "I Believe in You." Much like her outstanding rendition of "Stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again" from the I'm Not There soundtrack, Marshall imbues a gorgeous Bob Dylan cut from her "born-again" days with a new life all its own. This album may not be The Greatest, but it's pretty damn close.

A mixed bag of reminiscent vocals of the early 70's brings you back to folk music, back rooms and college pubs at a time of social unrest. I really enjoyed the beats and music.
