Artist
Cat Power. That's Chan Marshall, born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1972. She took the name off a trucker's cap that read 'Cat Diesel Power.' Her breakthrough was Moon Pix in 1998, cut in Melbourne with Mick Turner and Jim White of Dirty Three. Then came The Greatest in 2006, made with Memphis soul veterans including Teenie and Flick Hodges, and it won the Shortlist Music Prize. In 2023 she put out her song-for-song recreation of Bob Dylan's famous 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert. She's the voice on Handsome Boy Modeling School's 'I've Been Thinking,' from 2004.
