Cat Power - new (accurate!) album details revealed
On January 24, 2006, Matador will be releasing the long-awaited new studio album from Cat Power, 'The Greatest' on CD and LP in most major industrial countries.


no, it's not a greatest hits

Recorded at Memphis, TN's Ardent Studios over the summer by Stuart Sikes, 'The Greatest' while the most confident and life-affirming work of Chan Marshall's career, is as intensely personal, haunting and provocative as any of its predecessors. The album's players are a bona fide All-Star team of Memphis musicians, including Al Green sideman Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy "Flick" Hodges and David Smith on bass, Rick Steff on keys, Jim Spake on sax and trumpteer Scott Thompson amongst others.

The album's sequence is as follows:

The Greatest
Could We
Lived In Bars
Islands
After It All
The Moon
Living Proof
Empty Shell
Willie
Where Is My Love
Hate
Love & Communication

An MP3 of "The Greatest" is available now for your consideration.

While world touring with a full band will commence in early '06, the following Cat Power solo dates have been confirmed:
~It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not - ?~

~You laugh because I am different, I laugh because you are all the fucking same -?~

~Education is the most powerfull weapon you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela~

    Her new stuff is pretty damn cool.
    I heard one the tunes, missed the title, on Triple J and it is fantastic. Can't wait for the album.

    Good Woman is still one the best songs EVER!
    I had it all once I gave it back

    Yeah I've been excited for this one for a while. There's a big Chan article in Harp magazine this month.
  • I've listened to the whole album..and it is absolutely beautiful and moving.
