“The Greatest” by Cat Power. From The Greatest due January 24, 2006 on Matador.

From Matador:

On January 24, 2006, Matador will be releasing the long-awaited new studio album from Cat Power, ‘The Greatest’ on CD and LP in most major industrial countries.

Recorded at Memphis, TN’s Ardent Studios over the summer by Stuart Sikes, ‘The Greatest’ while the most confident and life-affirming work of Chan Marshall’s career, is as intensely personal, haunting and provocative as any of its predecessors. The album’s players are a bona fide All-Star team of Memphis musicians, including Al Green sideman Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy Hodges and David Smith on bass, Rick Steff on keys, Jim Spake on sax and trumpteer Scott Thompson amongst others.

The album’s sequence is as follows:

The Greatest
Could We
Lived In Bars
Islands
After It All
The Moon
Living Proof
Empty Shell
Willie
Where Is My Love
Hate
Love & Communication
