This is a recording of an exclusive session I had with Cat Power which was originally recorded onto cassette tape and broadcast in October 1998. I re-discovered it not long ago and ripped it and so this is the first time it has been ever heard in full by anyone other than me and her, and to be honest it’s unlikely many folk tuned into the show as it was on cable radio back then anyway. When she came in to the studio she was accompanied by 2 of her friends and tour mates, 2/3 of the band The Dirty Three who just sat in the corridor chatting and smoking.
Chan was so sweet that day, sitting opposite me in our tiny studio, strumming and singing to me for nearly an hour, I had left the tape running to record everything and these are the six songs that she completed. There were many attempts at others like Dreams by Fleetwood Mac but these are the ones came out best (including a Pavement song) and it really was a magical afternoon for me to have such an intimate performance from her.Friends of Dean Martinez : The Shadow Of Your Smile
