Free Music Notes for The Greatest
Free Music Review: Chan Marshall May impress us even yet.
Hit: 5 Stars
Chan Marshalls raspy, mysterious voice has brought us to a new level of her music in a modern sense. With Songs like "Lived in Bars" and "the Greatest" Marshall gives us a modern day song with her personal touch that no other can seem to reach. This CD is a must own if you are a Cat Power fan.
The Greatest Poster
If you are an artist at a crossroads/ "maturing point" in your career, it's a great idea to seek out the original musicians who played on music you adore and that inspire you greatly-it's the opposite of what Rick Rubin does with the old folks. The results, however, are often lackluster; it can just be too hard to forge a connection in a short period of time with studio dudes twenty to thirty years older than you. Chan Marshall, who took just three years between albums this time, returned to Memphis to record with many of the architects of Southern soul music at Ardent Studios on The Greatest. And from the first and titular tune, a mournful and gorgeous ballad with swelling strings, backing singer and shimmery guitar accompaniment that tells the tale of a boy who wants to become a great boxer, it's clear that the results of this experiment are uniformly awesome. The sultry-voiced artiste sounds fully at home within these songs, these lovely analog Southern sounds that bridge black and white musics. It's not like she's on a trip of trying to be Aretha or anything; besides, the arrangements on all the songs are different. The loping, fiddle-accented "Empty Shell" sounds like the Unholy Modal Rounders backing Bobbie Gentry. All the songs are pretty, slow and melancholy; there's nothing like "He War" on here. We are not in the habit of quoting press releases, but it's hard to beat this line from the Matador one-sheet: "If Alex Chilton were today a beautiful young woman, he'd sound like this." Amen, or something. -Mike McGonigalThis is not a greatest hits album, despite the title. It contains all-original songs written by Chan Marshal (professionally known as Cat Power), and features the great Memphis session musicians Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy Hodges on bass (Al Green, Hi Rhythm Section), drummer Steve Potts, and more. The combination of Marshall's superbly evocative and flexible voice plus some of the greatest Southern soul players, has produced a masterpiece. These songs explore themes of Southern loss, longing, and marginality. The limited first digipak pressing and regular single vinyl contain a bonus track. After the first pressing sells out, the regular jewelcase version will not contain a bonus track.
Japanese digipak pressing with earliest release of 2005 album. This is not a greatest hits album, despite the title. It contains all-original songs written by Chan Marshall (AKA Cat Power), and features the great Memphis session musicians Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy Hodges on bass (Al Green, Hi Rhythm Section), drummer Steve Potts, and more. Includes 2 bonus tracks 'Up & Gone' & 'Dreams'.
Japanese Edition of the 2006 Studio Album from the Alter Ego of Chan Marshall features Performances from Veteran Memphis Session Players Leroy Hodges (Bass), Teenie Hodges (Guitar), Steve Potts (Drums) and a Cast of Many More. Marshall is Gifted Singer and this Album Could Ultimately Prove to Be her all Time Best Collection of Songs. The Songs Are Supremely Crafted Elegies of Longing, Loss, Isolation and the Human Condition. This Version Includes Two Bonus Tracks Not Available on the Regular Us Edition: "up and Gone" and "Dreams".
