Sounds like: A little Janis Joplin mixed with some Joni Mitchell, as calm and unrushed as molasses.

FYI: Cat Power’s first covers record was called just that, The Covers Record, released in 2000. It featured such interesting reinterpretations of songs like (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, made famous by the Rolling Stone’s and Moby Grape’s Naked, If I Want to, which has also been redone for Jukebox.

Tidbit: Two Cat Power cover songs (popularly featured in commercials), have yet to appear on an album. They are Cat Stevens’ How Can I Tell You and Blondie’s Hanging on The Telephone.

Below is the tracklist for the album, including the names of the artists that originally made the songs famous. It should be noted as well that the last five songs are only included on the Deluxe album.

1. New York (Frank Sinatra)
2. Ramblin’ (Wo)man (Hank Williams)
3. Metal Heart (new version of original Cat Power song, from the Moon pix album)
4. Silver Stallion (The Highwaymen)
