Cat Power was the alias of Chan Marshall, a Southern-bred singer/songwriter whose father, Charlie, was an itinerant pianist. After dropping out of high school, Marshall found herself in New York; performing under the name Cat Power, she was booked as the opening act for Liz Phair, where she met Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and Two Dollar Guitars Tim Foljahn, who agreed to become her backing band. Following the release of 1995s Dear Sir and 1996s Myra Lee — both recorded on the same day — Cat Power signed to Matador for 1996s What Would the Community Think?, which won acclaim for Marshalls unsettling, emotional songs and cathartic vocals.
The superb Moon Pix followed two years later, and in the spring of 2000 Cat Power resurfaced with The Covers Record. Released in 2003, You Are Free featured a lusher, more polished sound as well as cameos by Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder; 2006s The Greatest was recorded in Memphis, TN, with legendary soul players including guitarist/songwriter Mabon Teenie Hodges, bassist Leroy Flick Hodges, and drummer Steve Potts.作者: sunny萝卜 时间: 2012-10-26 15:35
