Description On the The Covers Record, Chan Marshall continues her evolution into a remarkably expressive interpreter of songs; her earlier covers of Pavement's "We Dance" and Smog's "Bathysphere" are among her most distinctive performances. This collection includes songs originally by Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, Moby Grape, Michael Hurley, and Anonymous. Marshall's sparest album yet, The Covers Record uses guitar and piano as the only foils for her malleable, emotional voice. These tools are more than enough to turn the Stones' anthem "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" into a bluesy, slinky version emphasizing the song's tension and frustration as much as its jaded sexiness, and "Kingston Town" from a reggae standard into a hymnal reflection. Marshall's gentle version of Hurley's "Sweedeedee" and plaintive reading of the Velvets' "I Found a Reason" recall the quietest, most spiritual moments from Moon Pix. This culminates on the cover of her own "In This Hole" from What Would the Community Think; one of the most drastic revisions, its soft pianos and serene vocals replace the original's turbulent anguish, reflecting her changing musical path. Marshall explores many emotional directions, from her yearning version of Moby Grape's "Naked If I Want To" to her brooding sensuality on "Wild Is the Wind," to her down-home optimism on Bob Dylan's "Paths of Victory." "Salty Dog"'s lilting melody and humorous lyrics bring out Marshall's Georgia twang, while her version of Smog's "Red Apples" shows off her voice's sensual lows and keening highs. The joyous cover of "Sea of Love" (originally by Phil Phillips) brings this accomplished, heartfelt Covers Record to a very happy end. © Heather Phares /TiVo _________________________________________________________________________________ Artist : Cat Power Album : The Covers Record Year : March 20, 2000 Genre: Alternative & Indie Quality : Flac CD 16bits/44.1kHz Label: Released by Matador Source : Qobuz Size : 192mb Tracklist 01 (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 02 Kingsport Town 03 Troubled Waters 04 Naked, If I Want To 05 Sweedeedee 06 In This Hole 07 I Found a Reason 08 Wild is the Wind 09 Red Apples 10 Paths of Victory 11 Salty Dog 12 Sea of Love Credits 1 disc - 12 tracks - Total length: 41m 04s Main artist: Cat Power Composer: Various Composers Performers: KEITH RICHARDS, Composer - MICK JAGGER, Composer - Cat Power, Artist, MainArtist - ABKCO Music Inc.
