 Rating: - Cat Power - JukeboxJukebox (2008, Matador) Cat Power's eighth studio album. **** Chan Marshall has always been an enigma in the music community. Her raspy, deep voice, her strange performance at concerts, etc. Either way, she's had her fair share of brilliant moments and miserable misses, but thankfully Jukebox is a hit. This is not the first time Marshall has done a covers album. In fact, she was brave enough to tackle "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, a song successfully covered by only one band before her (Devo, in case you're wondering). On Jukebox, Marshall again displays her eclectic taste in music, tearing each song down and giving it a new structure, a new sound, and most importantly, a new view. She opens by covering Frank ... Read More: Rating:  - Jukebox - Deluxe EditionA mixed bag of reminiscent vocals of the early 70's brings you back to folk music, back rooms and college pubs at a time of social unrest. I really enjoyed the beats and music. Rating: - Sympathy for the cover version + plusThe cover version has unfortunately become much maligned over the years. Whereas bands were once judged by how well they could perform certain blues, R&B, Lennon/McCartney or Dylan songs and could gain kudos from picking up early on an up and coming songwriting talent, the rise of the singer/songwriter (and the extra profits from the publishing royalties) has meant the proliferation of home-grown material to the near total exclusion of pre-existing songs. Thankfully, Cat Power, though with a proven pedigree as an accomplished songwriter, notably on her previous album of original songs The Greatest, has always peppered her live appearances and recording sessions with songs that she has felt a connection with, regardless of who wrote ... Read More: Rating: - Another great covers discHere's the deal: I just really like her voice. It's one of those voices which I would enjoy even if she were singing the contents of the Boise telephone book. So yeah, I like this CD as I've liked everything she's done. So why 4 stars instead of 5? Just the covers aspect. Cat Power has done, in my view, some wonderful renditions of other people's songs, but covers CDs rarely stand the test of time like a recording of great originals. So one star removed for the "Okay, Cat...enough covers already" factor. Otherwise, hey....it's Cat Power and it's not the Boise telephone book, so four solid, honest stars. Rating: - Another Great Idea of Chan'sI would consider myself a "big fan" of Cat Power's. I enjoy her music. She has the ability to create music originally and a more impressive ability to re-create music originally. Her album, "The Covers Record" is the first showing of this talent. She takes songs that you know and love and she turns them into something completely new and exciting. She did a great job with that album and an equally great job with this one. I recommend that you buy both albums as well as her original works. |
