One of our favs, Chan Marshall a.k.a. CAT POWER is in India meeting with humanitarian aid groups in effort to help provide clean water and sanitation to the country.
She’s on a the mission to raise awareness with Scott Harrison the founder of the charity: Water. Cat Power said she planned to “visit a few hospitals with no water and then gonna dig a well for a few schools and just do basic traveling to ‘find’ new places for wells.”
Good girl.

Cat Power has another album coming out January 22, on Matador. She really got around on this one; it was recorded in Dallas, New York and Miami and it’s another all covers record, like her 2000 release of The Covers Record (that had a very ugly cover).
There are 10 (covers) tracks, a new version of “Metal Heart” and “Song To Bobby” and much more palatable album art this time around.
1 Theme From “New York, New York” (Frank Sinatra)
2 “Metal Heart” (Cat Power)
3 “Ramblin’ (Wo)man” (Hank Williams)
4 “Song To Bobby” (Cat Power)
5 “Aretha, Sing One For Me” (George Jackson)
6 “Lost Someone” (James Brown)
7 “I Believe In You” (Bob Dylan)
8 “Fortunate Son” (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
9 “Silver Stallion” (Lee Clayton)
10 “Dark End Of The Street” (Dan Penn & Chips Morman; originally sung by James Carr)
11 “Don’t Explain” (Billie Holiday)
12 “Woman Left Lonely” (Janis Joplin)
