专辑介绍

★含着传统蓝调灵魂的超龄嗓音混合着Bob Dylan、The Velvet Underground、Sonic Youth和Liz Phair的影响。

★Time Out誉为：「最懂得诠释之美的女唱作人」；Mojo推荐：「她栖息在别人的歌曲裡，以极具说服力的嗓音绽放光芒」。

★Uncut杂志、All-Music Guide专业音乐网站四颗星高价肯定，向乐坛音乐前辈致敬翻唱Bob Dylan、Rolling Stones、Nina Simone等全改编经典乐曲。

深沉抑郁又同时纯真无暇，Cat Power就像是摆荡在黑夜和白昼之间的暧昧混沌，游移在冷和热之间的纠结情绪，拥有一种複杂而神秘的绝对魅力。这张专辑她以蕴含着传统蓝调灵魂的超龄嗓音翻唱英国长青摇滚乐队The Rolling Stones、民谣摇滚诗人Bob Dylan、70年前卫乡村歌手Michael Hurley、旧金山60/70年迷幻民谣团体Moby Grape、白色噪音始祖乐团Velvet Underground，爵士经典女伶Nina Simone、低传真先锋乐团Smog在内的12首作品，性格鲜明的嗓音特质和编曲神采，却巧妙地为这些影响她的旋律，注入属于Cat Power的音乐灵魂。

On the The Covers Record, Chan Marshall continues her evolution into a remarkably expressive interpreter of songs; her earlier covers of Pavement's "We Dance" and Smog's "Bathysphere" are among her most distinctive performances. This collection includes songs originally by Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, Moby Grape, Michael Hurley, and Anonymous. Marshall's sparest album yet, The Covers Record uses guitar and piano as the only foils for her malleable, emotional voice. These tools are more than enough to turn the Stones' anthem "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" into a bluesy, slinky version emphasizing the song's tension and frustration as much as its jaded sexiness, and "Kingston Town" from a reggae standard into a hymnal reflection. Marshall's gentle version of Hurley's "Sweedeedee" and plaintive reading of the Velvets' "I Found a Reason" recall the quietest, most spiritual moments from Moon Pix. This culminates on the cover of her own "In This Hole" from What Would the Community Think; one of the most drastic revisions, its soft pianos and serene vocals replace the original's turbulent anguish, reflecting her changing musical path. Marshall explores many emotional directions, from her yearning version of Moby Grape's "Naked If I Want To" to her brooding sensuality on "Wild Is the Wind," to her down-home optimism on Bob Dylan's "Paths of Victory." "Salty Dog"'s lilting melody and humorous lyrics bring out Marshall's Georgia twang, while her version of Smog's "Red Apples" shows off her voice's sensual lows and keening highs. The joyous cover of "Sea of Love" (originally by Phil Phillips) brings this accomplished, heartfelt Covers Record to a very happy end.
