Free Music Notes for You Are Free
Free Music Review: Cat POWER
Hit: 5 Stars
This was my first Cat Power album and my favorite in my collection. These are very beautifully stories/songs sung by a woman who is living through the harshness of life. Her voice and pure honesty is something that helps me get through the day. These songs are great to listen to when you need to cry or scream or anything. I know whenever I pop in one of her CD's I am going to be expecting a mood change and it takes me to a wonderful place were things are calm. The song Free can be taken all sorts of ways all i know is when i hear it i can not help but dance. The album is so beautifully put together both with song order to pictures in the songbook.Free Music Review: Cat Power's Best

This is her best by a stretch, that's pretty much fact. It features the best songwriting of her career in an album of enough variety that it doesn't all sound the same like The Greatest. I generally find her releases before You Are Free to be less mature in their songwriting, and her releases after to be playing safe. The emotive songs (ie. "Maybe Not", "I Don't Blame You", "Names") are balanced by the bigger rock songs ("He War"). In this way alone it is her most complete work.
PS. Amazon reviews are usually lame on items with such personal tastes. We generally only review things we want to give 5 stars to. Don't we?
Free Music Review: Dang!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a thunderbolt of a record: here Cat Power makes the leap from promising small-timer to a great, resonant voice. The tasty drums and fuzzy guitar loops yield a groove like nothing she's done: there's gorgeous production, tricks and treats all over the place. "Free," "Werewolf," "Shaking Paper," "Evolution" -- and were there any justice in the world, "He War" would be this summer's "Cannonball," shaking apart cheap car speakers from Maine to San Antonio. I could do without "Names" but every trip needs a rest stop.I'm thrilled that I ponied up the cash for this one.
Free Music Review: As good as you can imagine cat power can be
Hit: 5 Stars
It sounds a little more polished than her previous albums, so maybe a little bit less of the 'indie sound.' Its like what NOFX said about their getting 'too good' to make really punk music anymore. Cat power is similar in that she's lost the roughness that I liked i her earlier stuff, but what she's gained is an even more refined lyrical talent and she uses her beautiful voice even more to her advantage.Not much to be said about Eddie Vedder's contribution (because you can hardly hear him) but Dave Grohl did a great job on the drums.
Free Music Review: Cat Power's best to date
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of us who've known about Cat Power for years, this was a highly anticipated album- the first of new material in five years- and it's her most solid work ever.Each track flows beautifully from one to another, and the lyrics and arrangments (especially the string arrangements by David Campbell, father of Beck) are incredible. I couldn't stop listening to this album for weeks.
If you're new to Cat Power, check out this record first, and then Moon Pix. You won't be disappointed.
