Cat Power’s seventh studio album, The Greatest, proved an immediate landmark in her already acclaimed career upon its January 2006 release. Recorded at Memphis, TN’s famed Ardent Studios with backing from some of that city’s most renowned session musicians, the album marked the first Cat Power release to exclusively feature songs written by Marshall, performed with understated Southern soulfulness and stunning creative confidence. The Greatest was met by worldwide critical applause while entering the Billboard 200 at #34 – Cat Power’s biggest commercial success to that date. Named by Rolling Stone at #6 on its “Top 50 Albums of 2006” as well #26 on its “100 Best Albums of the 2000s,” the collection was awarded with 2006’s prestigious Shortlist Music Prize, making history as the first album by a female artist to be accorded that honor. The album was also nominated for a Brit Award for Best International Female Vocal. The release was followed by a marathon world tour that saw Marshall backed by Dirty Delta Blues, an electrifying supergroup named after its members’ musical origins and later featured on 2008’s even more commercially successful Jukebox.
# # # "Redux is a reminder of the power Chan Marshall can command on stages worldwide. The EP also serves as a testament to her interpretive genius, proving that even in retrospection, she remains a singular, spectral force in American indie rock." – FLOOD "She maps the contours of the song she needs, not what you need...She actually inverts the emotional architecture of the song, dissolving the builds and using a hole-puncher at the pitches, taking out all the high notes you try at karaoke. She is daring you to have faith in her faith — this is exactly the opposite of karaoke, or any kind of obvious bid for applause that would ruin the sacred at the heart of this, or any other, song. She is hearing what we can’t, and this is why we return to her church again and again." – SASHA FRERE-JONES FOR 4COLUMNS Cat Power is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of her milestone 2006 album, The Greatest, with the release of Redux, a three-song EP available now both digitally and on 10” vinyl via Domino Recording Company. Marking the album’s 20th anniversary, Stereogum revisited The Greatest as part of its acclaimed anniversary-review series. Reflecting on the record’s enduring impact, journalist Tom Breihan reflects: “The Greatest is one of those magic albums…From a certain perspective, The Greatest is an album that sits on the same historical chain as both Dusty In Memphis and Norman Fucking Rockwell. It's the kind of record that ripples softly down through history. It exists out of time, moving backwards and forwards at once.”

Redux is highlighted by a stunning rendition of Prince’s iconic “Nothing Compares 2 U,” recorded in tribute to the late, great guitarist Teenie Hodges, a legendary member of The Memphis Rhythm Band that backed Cat Power on The Greatest and with whom the singer-songwriter, otherwise known as Chan Marshall, formed a close bond before his passing in 2014.
LISTEN TO “NOTHING COMPARES 2 U”
Recorded by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer and longtime collaborator Stuart Sikes (Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes) at Austin, TX’s Church House Studios with backing by Dirty Delta Blues – the all-star supergroup assembled for the world tour that followed The Greatest comprising guitarist Judah Bauer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), keyboardist Gregg Foreman (The Delta 72, Jesse Malin), bassist Erik Paparozzi (Lizard Music), and drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, Hard Quartet) – the EP further includes a brand new re-recording of James Brown’s chart-topping classic, “Try Me” (which was among those first recorded during the original sessions that produced The Greatest but never completed), as well as a re-imagined version of Marshall’s own “Could We,” one of the many standout tracks on The Greatest now newly recorded in the arrangement that was performed live on The Greatest Tour with Dirty Delta Blues.
