Who Says Covers Have To Suck


Anyone who pays attention to the indie scene already knows Cat Power. But for those of you who don't you may remember her from the hit movie 'Juno'. Her rendition of Phil Phillips 'Sea Of Love' was a highlight of the soundtracks innocence. Her most recent album 'Jukebox' is a covers record and no one does it quite as good as her these days.

She has also gained notoriety for her performances. If you have seen a Cat Power concert you know it's unpredictable. She will sometimes stop and even get off stage. She states that this was because of her stage fright and her battle with alcoholism. But when she's on her game. It's a beautiful sight. I recently saw her in concert and it was like you were in another world. It know it sounds cheesy but it brought you places... I don't do concert reviews. But I have to give respect where it is deserved.
