Cat Power’s new album, THE GREATEST<\/em> is not a compilation of greatest hits,
\nthough there are a couple of new versions of songs from previous albums. ‘WILLIE’ is a
\nshorter and more musically fleshed out version of ‘Willie Deadwilder’ from the
\nSpeaking for Trees<\/em> DVD + CD, while ‘THE MOON’ is from the
\nMOON PIX<\/em> CD of 1998. The CD takes its name from the first song.<\/p>\n

Chan Marshall aka Cat Power has produced a body of work the last 10 years
\nthat can only be compared to Bob Dylan’s early folk albums and Blonde on Blonde<\/em>,
\nfor its authentic intimacy and quiet yet playful intensity. The problems she had
\nin her early live shows were the result of her trying to recreate that painful intimacy
\nin front of large audiences, after the Indie success of Moon Pix<\/em>. Her
\nlive performance (one set with acoustic guitar, second set with piano) at the smaller
\nKnitting Factory in the late 90’s just blew everyone there away. <\/p>\n

For devouted fans of Cat Power, this latest CD might at first listen seem a bit uneven,
\ndue to the introduction of alot of other instruments into the mix. Not to worry,
\nthis is only another creative step in Chan Marshall’s relentless quest to conquer
\nthe world of the heart.<\/p>\n
