Her early recordings are really great! Due to her shyness in front of an audience, Chan Marshall played with her back to the crowd at a show in Seattle some years back. I saw her a couple of years later facing the crowd but with her hair combed forward concealing her face.

cat power is great. I have everything since What Would The Community Think? All have been excellent (that would be 'Moon Pix', 'The Covers Record' & 'You Are Free', for those wanting to know). Her cover of 'Wild Is The Wind' is superb.
She has a voice fairly similar to Beth Orton's. although more cracked and somewhat despairing. It's fairly heart rending stuff in places. particularly 'names' on the new album.
saw her live, and like it was said before, she let her long hair hang in front of her face so you couldn't see her.
she's a genius. more please!

she's got a really good hold on american folk history. you can hear more woody guthrie than you can bob dylan.

i love her stuffs - moonpix is an all time fave - but she's a bit of a whiner apparently - ie "waa waa - my life as a musician is terrible- I hate playing live it's crap" etcetera.
