Customer Reviews

Another great covers disc
Here's the deal: I just really like her voice. It's one of those voices which I would enjoy even if she were singing the contents of the Boise telephone book. So yeah, I like this CD as I've liked everything she's done. So why 4 stars instead of 5? Just the covers aspect. Cat Power has done, in my view, some wonderful renditions of other people's songs, but covers CDs rarely stand the test of time like a recording of great originals. So one star removed for the "Okay, Cat...enough covers already"
factor. Otherwise, hey....it's Cat Power and it's not the Boise telephone book, so four solid, honest stars.

Another Great Idea of Chan's
I would consider myself a "big fan" of Cat Power's. I enjoy her music. She has the ability to create music originally and a more impressive ability to re-create music originally. Her album, "The Covers Record" is the first showing of this talent. She takes songs that you know and love and she turns them into something completely new and exciting. She did a great job with that album and an equally great job with this one. I recommend that you buy both albums as well as her original works.

Music CD
Saw Cat Power in concert where she warmed up for Gnarls Barkley - she was awesome in person, but I don't like most of this CD.
