CAT POWER, "THE COVERS RECORD"

Chan Marshall takes some time out this round to record some of her favorite songs to cover.
Welleither that or record some songs that she thought she could do areasonable job of reinterpreting. In either case, it's as simple as thetitle states, yet has almost a completely different twist on nearlyeverything. Whether it's the acoustic guitar in "I Can't Get NoSatisfaction," the solo piano in "Wild is the Wind" or the strum on"Sea of Love," there's a subtle charm. It's pretty yet somewhatunchallenging, missable yet captivatng. I'm really in two worlds withthis one.
