Perhaps tired of being The Greatest, Cat Power sole proprietor Chan Marshall is instead working on another covers album tentatively titled Cover Record 2. She and her new band, the Dirty Delta blues, are in the midst of mixing the cover songs in Dallas.
On her MySpace, Marshall also writes “…this adaptation and personalizing of old songs is largely absent in modern music.” But what about the busloads of Radiohead tributes, or the mass-butchering of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah?!” We'll trust you, Chan, but you're leaving us to pine for more of your original songs.
She also writes she may release an additional volume instead of scrapping the excess covers. In the meantime, she’ll be dropping into a few cities with the new band until the full tour post-release in January.
