Cat Power - Jukebox

Cat Power’s new album Jukebox is her second album of covers. This one a tribute to the great vocalists who’ve influenced her over the years. The album comes in two versions: deluxe silver-foil gatefold cover (LP and CD) with bonus disc of extra tracks and regular jewelcase version (CD only). The digital version has only the 12 songs on the regular CD. Backed by Dirty Delta Blues (Judah Bauer, Gregg Foreman, Jim White, Erik Papparazzi). Guest appearances: Spooner Oldham (Neil Young, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan), Larry McDonald (Toots & The Maytals, Taj Mahal), Teenie Hodges (Al Green, Memphis Rhythm Band), and Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Will Oldham).

This is a great set of songs if you’re looking for something a little out of the mainstream.

Billboard.com review: Cat Power - Jukebox

Album review from Rhapsody:

Cat Power pays tribute to those who inspired her by covering tunes associated with Sinatra, Lady Day, Dylan, Joni and the country music greats. Time will tell if Cat Power will join the pantheon of immortals, but Chan Marshall already ranks with the greatest singers of our generation. She’s also grown as an interpretive artist since her first covers record. She breaks your heart on the country number “Silver Stallion,” turns Sinatra’s “New York, New York” into a slinky penthouse jaunt and even covers herself beautifully on “Metal Heart.” She also records like her heroes: live in the studio. - Nick Dedina

Artist’s Bio from MatadorRecords.com:

Chan Marshall stops time. She sits at a piano or lays her guitar across her lap, and whether it’s a noisy club overflowing with drunks or a coffee house full of laptoppers, Chan Marshall draws all the attention in the room and makes the world stop spinning. As Cat Power, Marshall’s music seems to rise from nowhere, envelop the room, then vanish; listeners know they’ve been hit by something but they’re not sure what.

 

For ‘The Greatest’ (not a greatest hits, but the brand-new studio album), Marshall returned to Memphis, pursuing this time the slinky Hi Records sound of the 70s, famed for its sensuous feel and beguiling rhythms. She got Al Green’s guitarist and songwriting partner Mabon “Teenie” Hodges to play guitar on the whole album (Teenie co-wrote “Love and Happiness” and “Take Me to the River,” among other soul classics). With Teenie came his Hi Rhythm bandmate (and brother) Leroy “Flick” Hodges, who plays on half of the album (Memphis A-team bassist Dave Smith supplements). Anchoring the band is Steve Potts, whose reputation on drums was solidified when the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG’s asked him to replace their late drummer, Al Jackson. Other top Memphis musicians guest on keyboards, horns and strings. Cat Power went right to the sources, and has created her own paean to the songs and styles she grew up on.
