SolveigMay 30, 20039Well, The Covers Record is in my opinion not Chan's best work but still it's beautiful. I can guarantee that anyone can fall in love with Cat Power's sour music, just give it some time. You will not regret it!

BenjaminBunnyApr 17, 20047For the small amount of energy Chan Marshall put into these recordings, the results are spectacular. I rarely condone cover albums, but this one gets by sheerly on Marshall's ability as a singer, which is considerable.

GabyDas3Feb 18, 200710im fourteen and this album makes me happy, nostaglic (i know how ridiculous that sounds) and calm. with an amazing voice which is hypnotic, amazing and fantastic this album can only be a must have for anyone. Can't Get no Satisfaction' from Rolling Stones is the most amazing cover i have every heard...Cat Power makes me appreciate music again.

80Rarely, though, do artists completely strip original material of all familiarity and reconstruct them in their own sensibility the way that Cat Power has here.

The unrelenting bleakness that pervades most of Marshall's music can be oppressive when taken in excess, and The Covers Record's gloom is exacerbated by the fact that its instrumental accompaniment seldom entails more than a piano or guitar... That barren approach can't match the stunning elegance of 1998's Moon Pix... but it is appropriate: The Covers Record is Marshall laid bare, and it needs no embellishments.
