I liked "I Don't Blame You" from one of her previous albums.

I'm only familiar with "He War" "Free" and "Cross Bones Styles". All great and upbeat songs, this one is too mellow for my tastes.

I cannot wait for this album to come out. apparently she recorded it with old soul session men. Chan Marshall is an amazing talent -- despite what many people say about her erratic behavior, etc. one of the most beautiful voices we have.

I'm really looking forward to this album. Has anybody seen her live? It's kind of ridiculous.

I was a bit dissapointed with "The Greatest", but the album did have some good moments.
"Lived in Bars" is a great song and is one of the better songs released in 2006. :)

Cat Power Wins 2007 Shortlist Music PrizeJune 12, 2007, 10:25 PM ET Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. Cat Power's "The Greatest" has been named the winner of the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize. The album beat out nine other releases from finalists such as Band of Horses, Beirut, Bonnie Prince Billy, Cat Power, Girl Talk, Hot Chip, Joanna Newsom, Regina Spektor, Spank Rock and Tom Waits. "The Greatest," recorded in Memphis with veteran session musicians, became Cat Power's top charting album when it opened last year at No. 34 on The Billboard 200. As part of its Shortlist win, the album is featured in a special iTunes promotion that includes the exclusive track "Up and Gone." The Shortlist Prize launched in 2001 and was won in its maiden year by Sigur Ros. Subsequent winners were N*E*R*D, Damien Rice and TV On The Radio. Last year, the Shortlist morphed into the New Pantheon Award, after a dispute between former Shortlist partners Tom Sarig and Greg Spotts. Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois" claimed the 2006 New Pantheon Award, although no public ceremony was ever held. Among the artists voting for this year's winner were Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, the Killers' Ronnie Vannucci, Franz Ferdinand, KT Tunstall, Panic! At The Disco, the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne and Stevens.

Cat Power should not have won the award over Joanna Newsom.  Ys was a far better album than The Greatest, which is not among the best work Cat Power has released in her career. |

I've really really tried to get into Cat's music but I just can't. I can't put my finger on why her stuff doesn't particularly move me. *sigh* oh well. I'll just stick with Feist.
Congrats to her winning Shortlist, though.
