Sure, it isn’t really edgy or confrontational. I’ve come to the decision that I really like it. I’ve sat through this album three times in a row (which I don’t usually do). I had always meant to listen to her covers record that she released in 2000, as I guess it was pretty good. I even have a live show that I traded for some Tortoise live show a couple of years back. They praise the album as one that will widen her audience. Pitchfork gives the record a 7.9/10– which is quite a compliment from them, however, their comment is that is sounds “outdated” or “musty” instead of timeless. Teenie co-wrote “Take Me To The River” and “Love and Happiness” with Green. These guys played with the likes of Al Green, Tina Turner, Neil Young, and Booker T and the MG’s. She worked with Memphis veterans such as Mabon “Teenie” Hodges and Steve Potts. Ardent is where Big Star did all of their greatest work. Chan (pronounced “Shawn”) packed up and went to Memphis to record this record at Ardent studios. ![]() Others bemoan the loss of the Cat Power that was risky, edgy, and underground. Some of the reviews praise the record as an attempt to become more accessible. I had read a few reviews of Chan Marshall’s new album as Cat Power called The Greatest.
