Cat Power - The Greatest

MATADOR RECORDS

The Greatest, released in 2006 is the seventh studio album by Cat Power, and one of the most commercially successful 

Despite the title, this is not a greatest hits album, though it does contain some of Chan Marshall's most accomplished songs, including the single 'Lived In Bars.' Backed by The Memphis Rhythm Band (Teenie Hodges, Steve Potts, Dave Smith, Rick Steff, Doug Easley, Jim Spake, Scott Thompson and Susan Marshall), with string arrangements contributed by Harlan T. Bobo and Jonathan Kirkscey, the sound of The Greatest is quite a departure from previous albums. Smoother, more confident, even upbeat, it marks a career turning point, but retains the melancholic yearning of Chan Marshall's effortless voice.
