Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Jukebox is a sure sign that the Cat Power we once knew–-the reluctant performer, too shy to get onstage without a bellyful of whiskey–-is dead and buried. Best understood as a sort of mix of two previous albums, 2006’s The Greatest--a real coming of age record, lush and powerful, recorded with some of the greats of Memphis soul–-and 2000’s sparse set of reinterpretations The Covers Record, Jukebox finds an assured, husky-voiced Chan paying tribute to some of the songs that inspired her, backed by her new ensemble, the Dirty Delta Blues band. This is by no means a predictable set, however: the opening "New York, New York" is reinterpreted as a sultry, smouldering blues number, fulsome in instrumentation but stark in its lack of show; while James Brown’s broiling Live at the Apollo cut "Lost Someone" is pared back into a swaying lover’s exhortation led along on jazzy drums. The picks veer towards the classic rock end of the spectrum--Dylan, Janis Joplin, Hank Williams, Joni Mitchell–-but there seems little urge here to gain some novelty laughs from a sudden flash of recognition. Rather, Marshall seems to dig right into the heart of the lyrics, looking for aching hearts and emotional epiphanies. It's worth a dime or two of anyone’s money. –-Louis Pattison
CD Description
American singer/songwriter Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power, returns with her eighth studio release, 'Jukebox'.Following up 2006's 'The Greatest', this album, like 2000's'The Covers Record', features mainly cover versions. Songs like Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' and Hank Williams''Ramblin Man' (or Ramblin' (Wo)man here) are dismantled andpractically made unrecognisable. The lyrics are the same yet the melodies and soft guitars and pianos belong to Cat Power. The only original track is 'Song To Bobby', a tribute toone of her biggest influences, Bob Dylan. Deluxe edition includes bonus disc with five more cover songs.
