Cat Power

[pawwa]

Cat Power je pevaljka i tekstopisac Chan Marshall. Žanrove koje inkorporira su indie rock, blues, folk, soul i funk. 1972. godište, a da peva i snima ohrabrili su je Steve Shelley (bubnjar Sonic Youth) i Tim Foljahn iz Two Dollar Guitar (ovaj bend mi je nepoznat, ali čisto da se stekne neki utisak...). Ova dvojica su i svirali na njena prva dva albuma.

Zanimljiva je, onako zvuči kao neka klasična ustaljena bluz pevačica, mada ne sviđa mi se baš sve, baš iz tog mog otpora prema rock muzici.

Novi album je izdala u 2008. godini, nosi naziv Jukebox. Ako hoćete da čujete nešto od nje, preporučujem stvar The Greatest i istoimeni album čisto da dobijete neku sliku, a i na novom albumu (Jukebox) ima par dobrih pesama (I Feel, Don't Explain - ovo me sabija, navodi da se ubijem hehe, Ramblin' (Wo)Man...).

Evo i video za The Greatest:

Jesi li siguran da ti se ne sviđa samo zbog imena 

Catpawwa 

Pogledao sam taj snimak sa youtube jer sam morao da vidim kako zvuči ta devojka koju je Steve Shelley nagovorio da peva.
Prva asocijacija mi je bila Jewel, znači ništa novo.

Devojka ima dobar glas ali svi ti tonovi, način pevanja, gudački orkestar...preselo mi je.
Naslušao sam se žalopojki tog tipa.

Nije to moja šolja čaja.

Preporuka, vrh album:

Cat Power - Jukebox

A long-awaited sequel to Chan Marshall's The Covers Record,
Jukebox finds everyone's favourite Chanel model tackling songs by Bob Dylan,
Hank Williams, Billie Holliday, Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell among others.
As was the case with her version of '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' on her
last covers LP, Marshall takes a pop culture classic and radically
reconfigures it for her album opener (Sinatra's 'New York' in this case),
which drifts into the gorgeous, reverberant tones of Hank
Williams' 'Ramblin' (Wo)man'. The song is framed by deep shimmers of lead
guitar, playing off against Marshall's incredible voice - which has probably
never sounded so good. Significantly, you could argue that the two most
successful recordings on the album are of Cat Power originals. The first is a
new, piano-driven version of 'Metal Heart'. Having originally appeared as a
career highlight on Moon Pix, the song is given a new lease of life as a
powerful blues ballad. Certain die hard fans will insist that it's not as
good as the original, but you'd have a hard time arguing this new
interpretation isn't awesome in its own right. It features a wonderful
performance not only from Marshall herself, but her band too, who are made up
by indie rock royalty like Jim White and Judah Bauer. Bob Dylan has clearly
always been a major influence on Cat Power's career: he gets a couple of nods
on The Covers Record, and Marshall delivered an awesome impression of him on
the I'm Not There soundtrack. Now, on Jukebox she tackles 'I Believe In
You', but then goes even further, dedicating a new song of her own, 'Song To
Bobby' to not-quite meeting the great man himself, and in so doing mimics
Dylan's own writing brilliantly. While an entirely new Cat Power album would
have been nice, there's undoubtedly something special about the way Chan
Marshall tackles other people's music, and furthermore, her voice sounds just
incredible on these recordings. ESSENTIAL PURCHASE.

Svidela mi se ranije kada sam je slušao. Ali nisam odavno pa je sada malo nemoguće podeliti konkretne utiske. Valjalo bi da se obnovi gradivo...
