CAT POWER is the nom de rock of Chan Marshall. Her second album of cover songs is a tribute to the great vocalists that have inspired her over the years. It includes two originals that fit the “covers” theme: “Song To Bobby” evokes Dylan in both style and content, and a new sense of triumph pervades her revisit to 2000’s “Metal Heart.”

Jukebox (2008) was recorded by Stuart Sikes at the Hit Factory (Miami), Rare Book Room (Brooklyn), and Sikes Studio (Dallas). Her backing band on the album and all subsequent touring is Dirty Delta Blues – Jim White (drums), Judah Bauer (guitar), Gregg Foreman (keyboards), Erik Paparazzi (bass). Guest musicians on Jukebox include Spooner Oldham (Neil Young, Janis Joplin), Larry McDonald (Toots & the Maytals, Taj Mahal), Teenie Hodges (Al Green, Memphis Rhythm Band), and Matt Sweeney (Chavez).

Her albums have received significant critical reactions:

“A dazzling self-portrait…she refashions material from other artists and makes it seem like it’s been hers all along.”
— Rolling Stone

“Quietly assertive as well as admiring...she claims [the originals] by pondering them.”
— The New York Times

“Subtle touches of jazz, blues, rock and country add to the dreamy, soulful elegance and make Jukebox feel like a private love letter to treasured tunes.”

— Los Angeles Times
