Cat Powers’ second CD of cover songs is out this month, and she does another fine job judging by the two tracks I have heard from it.

I just love Cat’s slow-fi style. Her down tempo rendition of the Rolling Stones ‘Satisfaction’ on her ‘The Covers Record‘ is just inspired. I am hard pushed to choose a favourite out of the 5 albums I have of hers, but the 2006 ‘The Greatest‘ would be a good starting point to get into her.

Cat is also up for a BRIT award in February 2008. How did that happen? She is up against, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Nelly Furtado and Pink in the International Female Solo Artist. Bizarre.
