In the line of the great female acts of my generation stands the very talented Chan Marshall, known as Cat Power, who launched a new album this month after publicly coming out of a hard time, recovering from a life of drug and alcohol abuse.
Jukebox features covers from Billie Holiday and James Brown, and is now available in stores and on iTunes.
Unfortunately, no MP3s will be made available for podcasters, as said in the conversation taking place between the label and Cat Power’s fans on Matador’s blog – “No MP3 coupon though – with all the publishers involved for the many cover songs, we can’t get permission.”
Vu d’ici’s topo on Cat Power:
– Watch Cat Power as she openly shares about her recovery in a NYT interview,
– young Cat Power video – lovely dance gestures, how sweet she looks in this video!
– Lived in bars video,
– New York New York cover which is on her latest album, Jukebox.
Listen to Cat Power in podcast #52.
