Dunno, just another case of emperors new clothes to me, though I did hear one really good voice on the radio, except she was singing some ridiculous song about "chasing pavements", apart from that, superb...who's that, anyone know

January 18, 200817 yr Has anyone mentioned Cat Power in these discussions of soul-influenced female pop singers? Her last album The Greatest was produced at Ardent in Memphis with the full Hi rhythm section and was as close as this kind of thing gets (prepares to open huge can of worms) to the textures of classic soul music. Her new album is a set of covers which apparently features a stab at George Jackson's immortal Aretha, Sing One For Me, James Brown's Lost Someone and Penn & Oldham's A Woman Left Lonely, again featuring the Hodges brothers and Spooner Oldham. I haven't heard that yet, but I'm sure she'll approach it with a lot of craft and empathy. The aspect of these records I like is that she doesn't try to sound like something she isn't: her vocals are more Joni Mitchell than Etta James, and overall that approach works very well and produces some very fine pop music with a soul influence in the playing and musical settings.
