Photographer: Shawn Mortenson © 1999 "An undoubted talent...her chocolatey, sublime vocals evoke betrayal, heartache, and renewal more poetically than clumsy words ever could." —Melody Maker Cat Power is the nom de plume of Chan Marshall, good cop. Her last record, Moon Pix, was released in September 1998 and was hailed 'round the world as a paragon of modern songwriting. On The Covers Record, Chan applies her remarkable interpretive skills to a wide variety of influences, accompanying herself on only piano or guitar. Almost gruesome in its melancholy (think Pink Moon, Drama Of Exile, Music For A New Society...), she de/reconstructs these songs often to the point of unrecognizability. The result is one of the most striking records we've heard in years, a More...

Mohammed Ali = The Greatest | Reviewer: They should teach these kids more lit crit ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power Boxing gloves on the eponymous CD cover. "Two fists of solid rock." ... and more subtle references. No way you can get the song unless you understand that it's a direct reference to Mohammed Ali, whose famous moniker was "The Greatest" -- and whom later suffered from Parkinson's (which some speculated was caused by his boxing career, the condition boxers call "punch drunk"). Yeah, sure, it's also a metaphor for the artistic life, for pushing forward in the midst of failure, and for Cat Power's personal life as well. But the main theme of the song is Ali, no way around that... just..... | Reviewer: nikithebrain ------ About the song Metal Heart performed by Cat Power good ol song writing like the old days. a song you feel and want to feel over again. love the remix too but first heard it on Moon Pix. if you're not hooked yet, download all of this young lady's songs and o'd. The Greatest | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power This song reminds me of a warm August night, around 1 a.m; my friend and I were driving back to the Okanagan from Vancouver on a high mountain highway and the Perseid Meteor Shower was giving us a spectacular show overhead. The Greatest was playing, we had the road to ourselves, travelling on top of the world in the wilderness, watching the 'stars at night turn deep to dust.'. It was fantastic! Love this song. Perhaps this will provoke controversy, but it is my honest, in-depth opinion. | Reviewer: Mary Jackson ------ About the song I Don't Blame You performed by Cat Power I feel that this song is about Kurt Cobain's decision to quit the music industry. I understand where people might assume that she is getting to the point of saying she doesn't blame him for killing himself, but I've researched the subject of Kurt Cobain's death for numerous years as a devout fan and have come to the substantial conclusion that he did not kill himself. Anybody who thinks otherwise should check out justiceforkurt.com. Also, the book LOVE & DEATH by Ian Wallace and Max Halperin is very noteworthy in this matter; it explains many inconsistancies and myths surrounding his death, and denotes them to the full extent. It is true that he never wanted to become famous, which is one reason why he was so reluctant to succomb to his fans persistance on hearing one or two "hits" at every show. He did not kill himself to escape the music industry, however, the "suicide note" references nothing even remotely close to suicide, all it references is his decision to leave Courtney and the band. It is widely known (though obviously not widely enough) that Kurt had made plans to do a duet with Michael Stipe of REM and also made plans to go fishing with his grandfather. Somebody who is going to kill themself isn't going to make those sort of arrangements, it would be more along the lines of giving away their belongings. He was in the process of changing his will to exclude Courtney when he was found dead in their Seattle home. Note that his body had three times the lethal dose of heroin and he was found with the paraphanelia (needle, drugs) neatly packed away in a little wooden box beside him. What man can proceed to inject themselve with 3x the lethal dose (for even a JUNKY) then neatly remove the needle, put everything away and THEN proceed to shoot themself in the head. NO ONE. Period. Doctors have even said that he wouldn't of even been able to take the needle out of his arm. And let's not forget that there were NO fingerprints on the needle used to inject the drug, or the on the pen next to the suicide note and most importantly on the shotgun. What, was he wearing gloves as he performed this literally impossible suicide? I think not. I could go on and on and on and reference a few names such as Kristin Pfaff and Eldon Hoke aka El Duce and their relation to this case but that would take far too long to type out. So, that's my tangeant in response to all the reviews I've read of this song relating it to Kurt Cobain's "suicide." If anybody has any questions, or perhaps would like to add their opinions to my assessed theory from backed research, feel free to email me at msjackson_22@hotmail.com or jacksonm01@northland.edu. And a footnote for the mother who found her daughter with this track playing in the background: I'm sorry for your loss and give you my condolencies. But look at it this way, she chose a beautiful song with poetic meanings for you to derive as opposed to a nasty song directed at bad parenting, such as the song "For You" by Staind. Look up the lyrics to that song, perhaps it will make it easier for you to bear "I Don't Blame You" by Cat Power. And alas, you cannot put the blame on anyone, not a musician of which she loved, not yourself, she obviously was going through a very hard time and didn't feel she had the strength to cope. I believe "I Don't Blame You" was her way of telling you it had nothing to do with your parenting, and I'm sure she loved you very much. That is all. yet another cover | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power This song has been covered SO SO SO many times. My favorite is still The Honey Drippers but I very much enjoy Cat Power's rendition. Such a sweet song, and timeless - obviously - it was written like 50 years ago, and we all still love it. :) the stallion | Reviewer: Shannon Curtis ------ About the song Silver Stallion performed by Cat Power "Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind." This song feels me with the wonder and starkness of the wild west. It causes me to yearn for a wild love. It burns my heart with exitement. I want to leap. I can feel the earth moving beneath my feet. this song reminds me that i am alive. Catpower you rock my world. powerful | Reviewer: Sarah ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power This song cannot possibly be played enough on my computer. It really does trigger my emotions ever single time it passes through my speakers. This song is hopeful and refocuses my attention toward goals I have almost forgotten. Through this song I envision past, present, and future. The scenes so vivid and memorable... awesome | Reviewer: rossella ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power my friend had this song on her myspace profile and i wanted to learn it so i did and finaly i realized that this song is so cute........i did a cover look up sella2xochitl sea of love.on youtube thanx!!! Such melancholy | Reviewer: richMM ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power When I listen to this I hear echoes of every lost idea and opportunity I ever had. To me, it's about resolving the feeling of not being what you wanted to be when you were younger and not hidebound to the realities of life. There's a resignation to her fate, in that she's asking to be buried: Lower me down PIN ME IN Secure the grounds FOR THE LEAD AND THE DREGS OF MY BED I'VE BEEN SLEEPING For the later parade Whatever was actually in her head as she wrote the words, it's a stunningly haunting song that gets me every time. Speechlessly beautiful | Reviewer: sammi hujik ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power When I first heard this song I was watching Juno and it made me cry. Her voice is just so smooth and comforting. She is one of the most talented people I have heard in a while. The song it self does not have many lyrics yet is still manages to speak to everyone in a different way that's how you know that the artist does a very good job of portraying it and the lyrics and notes are very well thought out and came from someones heart. Bravo and I recommend it to everyone!! song meaning aside for a moment. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Don't Blame You performed by Cat Power i get sort of sick of everyone trying to deeply analyze why kurt cobain killed himself. he was depressed, on drugs, and divorcing his wife. the stress of not being able to cope with the over-whelming success just added on to all of that. i think even the most mentally stable would at least have some kind of nervous break down in that situation. one thing i would never want to be is a rock star that pretty much sets the bar for a whole generation of music. would that not be the most overwhelming thing ever?? the thought of it even gives me anxiety. (but stardom is, i would have to say, the least of my worries considering i go by rapeworm and my music is unpleasantly noisy.) there, my hat is officially in the kurt cobain suicide debate ring. on a more positive note, chan marshall is my feminine hero. A Beautiful and Touching Song... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power This song is an amazing and mind touching song that I could listen to all of the time. It gives you that calm, peaceful, and content feeling. I heard this song in Juno, and I think it's the song that makes the part it's played at so touching. Deep | Reviewer: Donna ------ About the song Lived In Bars performed by Cat Power When I read through the song, separating myself from her wonderful voice, I feel she has more to say than meets the eye. Just my opinion, I feel that she is comparing everybody's life, the good and the bad, and is determined to track down Jesus. "We know your house so very well", "every living lion will lay in your lap", and "as far as we've walked from both of the sand, never have we caught a glimpse of this man". These are just some key points that makes me feel that everyone questions themselves and is searching.
