![Cat Power - Dark End Of The Street [EP] review](http://www.sweetslyrics.com/poze/cat-power-4.jpg) Like the jukebox on her last covers comp, Cat Power's Chan Marshall is a storehouse of great songs. This EP leads off with a trembling take on "Dark End of the Street," a classic cheating song that epitomizes the simmering Seventies Southern soul Marshall has explored since 2006's The Greatest. She also faithfully covers Otis Redding's "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)," while her versions of Creedence's "Fortunate Son" and Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" are more radical; the latter slows the melody down to a ghostly incantation.

It's been an eventful few years for Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power. Following the release of 2006's brilliant The Greatest, Marshall had what she later described as a "psychotic break" and was admitted to a psychiatric ward following years of alcohol abuse.
At the time, her career was in the ascendancy, The Greatest, her seventh album, successfully transposing that unique vocal growl onto the musical backdrops laid out by members of Al Green's touring band. Renowned for her erratic live shows - sometimes ending with Marshall curled up in a ball in the middle of the stage - many felt her absence from the limelight would be a long one.
Earlier this year, however, Cat Power returned with Jukebox, her second album of cover versions. Healthier and with demons behind her, she also returned to the live arena, performing with a new found confidence that saw her finish every song as opposed to mumbling apologies and walking off. This EP collects together six songs that were left off the parent album, four of them previously unreleased....full text |
