That is uncalled for, I'd say. Besides being extremely talented, she is a very sweet and unassuming person. |

Why's she singing in the backroom - is she also afraid to step up to the mic?

This sounds very much like early 2000's Robert Plant. The band could even be The Strange Sensations.
Good stuff...

Saw her and her rocking band in Tokyo a few months ago, it was darn good; she's unique in so many ways, stage fright getting better; she's sincere-naked honesty on so many levels, and she sings like a goddess from the backroads....

I like the sound of her voice. So she's got stage fright like I do, I'll just listen to the CD and enjoy.  |

Her performance was not great. She ran the songs together with no breaks between them and barely said 3 words to the audience. Obviously some kind of stage fright going on. It was uncomfortable to watch.
I love some of her music though. The stories of the inspiration for her music are amazing (and somewhat creepy). She's definitely plugged into the great beyond in some way.
Nice post Uncle, this song has got me interested in Cat Power :) |

If you're a man, you've no one to blame but yourself for any subsequent heartbreak.

I saw Cat Power open for the Pretenders last summer. She was a strange one. When we came in, her set was in progress. We saw the band on stage, and we heard her singing, but she wasn't on the stage. It took a minute to find her in front of the stage up a side aisle a bit. She spent a good 1/2 the show wandering around in front of the stage, not really making contact with the crowd, just there. It was weird. That said, they sounded great and I definitely enjoyed their set. (They did do Ramblin' (Wo)Man, by the way.) |

Perhaps a subtle rebuttal to Ramblin Man? Thanks for playing this, RP. I've been trying to listen to a few Cat Power tunes before letting loose of a couple of dollars. If this is typical, I'll enjoy her CD for a long, long time. |
