CL RECOMMENDS
CL’s Hal Horowitz Recommends: Chan Marshall may have left her one-time Cabbagetown residence in the early 90s, but she remains a local favorite; a musician who has graduated to worldwide recognition, but never forgotten her Atlanta roots or connections. She’s riding back into town on her third album of covers where she applies her distinctive dusky, velvety voice to a diverse batch of tunes ranging from Billie Holiday to Iggy Pop and even Jackson Browne, whose “These Days” seems more a nod to Nico’s version than its composer’s. — HH
From the venue:
Chan Marshall’s latest covers album as Cat Power arrives, as all of her music does, at just the perfect time. Covers is a deeply felt, intimate, and altogether holistic collection of songs intended as a healing salve for the artist and listener alike, showcasing Marshall’s singular chronicling of the ever-evolving great American songbook. Self-produced and featuring renditions of classic songs from artists like Jackson Browne, the Replacements, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Billie Holiday, and the Cat Power catalog itself, Covers is at once a reminder of Marshall’s artistically intuitive power and the latest chapter in a truly illustrious career. With a catalogue of songwriting that’s unparalleled in the worlds of indie rock and American music at large—spanning several decades and ten studio albums’ Marshall’s work at Cat Power has defied genre and convention, her legacy rippling through the work of a wide range of contemporary musical luminaries ranging from Lana Del Rey, Clairo, and Soccer Mommy to Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Angel Olsen. There’s a rawness and immediacy to Marshall’s music that has stood the test of time, with every new musical missive from her as essential as what’s come before it.
