The Greatest
by Cat Power
The 1417th greatest album of all time
The Greatest, released in 2006 by Cat Power (Chan Marshall), shifts from her earlier spare arrangements to a warmer, full-band sound that blends indie rock with country rock, blues and soul influences. Recorded with experienced session players in a Memphis-centered style, the album pairs Marshall's smoky, intimate vocals with languid grooves, warm organ and restrained guitar to emphasize mood and concise songcraft. It is notable for its relaxed, soulful atmosphere and a more assured vocal presence compared with her earlier work.
