The Greatest
This is not a greatest hits album, despite the title. It contains all-original songs written by Chan Marshal (professionally known as Cat Power), and features the great Memphis session musicians Teenie Hodges on guitar, Leroy Hodges on bass (Al Green, Hi Rhythm Section), drummer Steve Potts, and more. The combination of Marshall's superbly evocative and flexible voice plus some of the greatest Southern soul players, has produced a masterpiece. These songs explore themes of Southern loss, longing, and marginality. The limited first digipak pressing and regular single vinyl contain a bonus track. After the first pressing sells out, the regular jewelcase version will not contain a bonus track. more

Chan Marshall May impress us even yet.
Chan Marshalls raspy, mysterious voice has brought us to a new level of her music in a modern sense. With Songs like "Lived in Bars" and "the Greatest" Marshall gives us a modern day song with her personal touch that no other can seem to reach. This CD is a must own if you are a Cat Power fan.

About this edition
I agree with most reviews here, it's a great album. The only thing I want to make clear this is the same CD but comes inside a card sleeve that's why the cover in the picture looks different. Otherwise has a great price that's worth's paying.

Not her greatest
Cat Power 's vid for 1998's " Naked As The News " was an intense music experience , equally disturbing and powerful with , let's say P.J.Harvey's " Down By The Water " or Bjork's " Army Of Me " . Then , her hypnotic vid for " Cross Bone Style " was the equivalent of an indie wet dream - strange...

Great CD, Sellout "Artist"
I loved this CD. It moved me, amazed me, and made me want to grind all over my sig other (now fiance). I think this CD might be one of the reasons that we are getting married.That said, I was heartbroken when I heard her cover of "How Can I Tell You" by Cat Stevens used in a diamond commercial....

Cat's still got it, just not as much...
I like this OK, but if you don't have any of her CDs yet, get Moon Pix.

Cat Power stumbles and takes a nose dive in her songwriting skills.
I'm a man who's listened to the hell out of the CDs "Moon Pix" and had to buy "You Are Free" twice because i listened to it so much. So, I was excited as a school girl when I purchased the new album "The Greatest" but wow was I saddened at how leadin and boring this record is. At first, I...

Best yet
Teaming Cat Power with the Hi team who recorded behind Ann Peebles and Al Green was an unexpected and brilliant idea. A special alchemy took place at Ardent Studios in Memphis which enhanced both Cat Power's gorgeous smoky voice and the soulful groove the band has laid down. I would say that that...

The Greatest
Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power) is by now well known for her inconsistent live performances. See her on Friday and she'll croon for hours. See her on Saturday and she'll hunch over the piano with a bottle of Jack, muttering diatribes under her breath before running offstage in tears. Taken with her...

overall worth it
It's not her best career work, but similar to her live performances there are some magic moments that make the CD worth it. She puts out such heartfelt work it's hard not to support it.
