Cat Power’s Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall exists on a plane somewhat different than yours or mine, as anybody who has heard her sing knows. Her voice is unlike anyone you’ve heard before, combining raw intimacy with a gruff, chalky confidence, and while any attempt to interpret her lyrics comes up short, their plain-spoken lines belie an otherworldly perspective on primal human emotions. She’s abstract, but always honest and true. That awareness has caused a tidal wave of adulation for Chan from her giant fan base, one that has tripled with each new record released.
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, she de/reconstructs these songs often to the point of unrecognizability. The result is a striking record, a masterpiece of mood, and another wonderful display of her extraordinary personality. The artists covered include Bob Dylan, Moby Grape, Nina Simone and The Rolling Stones.
