Cat Power Talks Her ‘Sings Bob Dylan’ Album, Her History With His Music, and Meeting the Man Himself
Cat Power talks about her 'Sings Bob Dylan' album and tour, how they came about, and meeting the man himself — with Roman Polanski.
Chan Marshall — a.k.a Cat Power — is one of the most distinctive singers of her generation, emerging from the indie-rock scene of the early ‘90s to become a unique artist fusing a multitude of styles that range from rock to folk to low-key soul, in a long string of albums that alternate between originals and covers. Raised in Georgia, Charlyn Marshall (Chan is a childhood nickname that is pronounced “Shawn”) relocated to New York in the early ‘90s and was adopted by the city’s indie-rock community, releasing a string of increasingly strong albums. Be all of that as it may, Marshall’s concert spawned an album and now a tour that is winding its way across North America and Europe through August, with a gig at the equally prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York that took place on Valentine’s Day last week.
