Alongside similarly soulful female vocalists such as Neko Case, Feist and Regina Spektor, Marshall is one of an elite league of talented songstresses who have ruled the 2000s with their powerful pipes. Countering the feministic, demeaning standards of her whinier predecessors of the 1990s, Cat Power\u2019s vocals range from the ethereal to the guttural; her lyrics never fail to leave listeners inspired.<\/p>\n<p> Although Marshall has been releasing albums since the mid-1990s, she gained perhaps the most widespread recognition of her career in 2006, when her diverse album The Greatest made it to number 34 on Billboard 200 sales charts.<\/p>\n<p> This was also the year in which Marshall overcame her lifelong stage fright, which before had hindered her live performances, and was a keynote act at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. Since then, Marshall has been heard by mainstream television audiences, after covering Cat Stevens\u2019 \u201cHow Can I Tell You\u201d for Zales Diamond Stores\u2019 2007 ad campaign.<\/p>\n<p> In the wake of the commercial Stevens cover, Marshall has followed up on her first cover album, 1997\u2019s appropriately titled The Covers Record, with Jukebox, a 12-track CD consisting of 10 cover songs and two new Cat Power originals. Marshall\u2019s affinity for covers is not to be mistaken for a lack of talent, however; there are few other popular modern musicians who could re-arrange Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cI Believe in You,\u201d Hank Williams\u2019 \u201cRamblin\u2019 Man,\u201d and Billie Holiday\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Explain\u201d over the course of one 47-minute CD, and pull it off. In addition, Marshall\u2019s originals, her previously released \u201cMetal Heart\u201d and climactic, catatonic \u201cSong to Bobby\u201d are strong and transcendent tracks. Her version of the traditional blues hymn \u201cLord, Help the Poor and Needy,\u201d backed with potent percussion, poses ever-relevant themes and is not to be missed. All of this with the raw musical accompaniment of an acoustic guitar, a few organs, and a piano.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the opening track of her new album, Jukebox, released on January 22, 2008, Cat Power belts, \u201cthese vagabond shoes\/are melting away\u201d with just as\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7773,7759,7778,7767,7768,7769,7772,7777,7774,7775,7766,7770,7755,7771,7765,6744,7764,7756,7761,7757,7760,7758,7763,7762,7776],"tags":[7780,7779,687,7783,3504,7782,7785,7787,7784,7781,7788,7786],"class_list":["post-67945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-academic-writing-example","category-best-nursing-thesis-topics-and-ideas-with-example-for-university-study","category-creative-writing","category-dissertation-correction","category-dissertation-discussion","category-dissertation-in-3-days","category-dissertation-literature-review","category-dissertation-tips","category-how-to-write-a-cover-letter","category-how-to-write-a-cv","category-how-to-write-a-dissertation","category-how-to-write-a-dissertation-quickly","category-how-to-write-thesis-for-research","category-i-will-pay-someone-to-write-my-essay","category-nursing-academic-writing","category-nursing-studybay","category-nursing-thesis-topic-ideas","category-nursing-thesis-wring-services","category-research-study-thesis","category-research-title-for-nursing-students","category-research-topics-in-hrm","category-thesis-hacks-for-students","category-thesis-tips","category-website-for-thesis-research","category-writing-my-dissertation-in-a-day","tag-apps-to-help-with-writing-assignment","tag-assignment-help-in-australia","tag-assignment-help-website","tag-assignment-helpers-for-students","tag-essay-writing","tag-help-students-with-assignment","tag-i-will-pay-someone-to-do-my-assignments","tag-looking-for-someone-to-do-my-assignments","tag-pay-someone-to-do-my-assignment","tag-paying-someone-to-do-assignment","tag-studybay","tag-university-assignment-hacks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67945\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studyproessays.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
