Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

I’m sure that you’ve already had a chance to listen in full to Cat Power’s Jukebox, ripe full of lovingly done covers of songs that are now approaching 4 decades old.  But Chan Marshall will be releasing an EP (B-sides of Jukebox?) entitled Dark End of the Street on December 9th.  Check it out here.  The six song EP is not a terrible amount to chew on, but nonetheless, it’s still definitely worth your time.  Cat Power’s cover of “Fortunate Son” by CCR is…..amazingly different and serves a testament of what ‘The Power’ is capable of doing.  It’s as seething and sardonic as the original, but even more haunting and beautiful with its gentle strings and Marshall’s outspoken rasp.  She’s the ultimate manipulator of sound, I say.
