Cat Power - The Covers Record

Cat Power is touring in Australia in December so I have listed several full-length CDs by this beloved indie singer/songwriter.

This is the fifth studio album by Cat Power, released in 2000 on Matador Records. The album consists entirely of cover songs, with the exception of a new version of Marshall's song "In this Hole," which initially appeared on Cat Power's 1996 album What Would the Community Think. The success of Cat Power's fourth album, Moon Pix (1998), led to high expectations for her follow-up, and made it difficult for her to live what she called “a normal life.” She elected to release an album of covers in part because she felt more comfortable playing covers than her own material. According to Gerard Cosloy, the promotional campaign for The Covers Record, which he calls “a great album,” was intentionally “muted,” in order to allow it to “find its audience.” See photos for full track listing.

CD shows a few minor marks but these do not affect play. Booklet and case in very good condition.

Check out my other CDs, vinyl LPs and 12" singles. These are all originals and in excellent to mint condition. More to come soon.
