Below is some fan footage of Cat Power performing a blend of Jackson Browne's "These Days" and her own "Song to Bobby" (off her otherwise mostly covers album Jukebox from 2008) in Las Vegas in October at the big Matator at 21 event which celebrated Matador Records' 21 years in the record industry. Since she is always full of surprises, who knows if Chan Marshall will perform these two songs (which she also did at last summer's Outside Lands fest in SF) in a few weeks when she plays the Music Box in Hollywood. Anticipation is high for the concert, since she is expected to be playing songs off her much delayed, still in the making, new solo album. Titled Sun, it will be her first album of all original material since 2006’s The Greatest.
Already written and ready to go a few years ago, the artist switched up the playlist for Sun in the meantime and stalled on releasing it. Initially the album was going to be recordings of these older songs she had written some years back but now it reportedly will include all newer material by the artist. Before the Hollywood show she will do a short tour of Australia starting in a week. Tickets for her Australian dates sold out fast, so you would be advised to buy tickets for her Feb 6 Hollywood Music Box show asap. Better yet, win tickets to the show courtesy of Amoeba Music.
