Cat Power's debut album is miles removed from the streamlined rockers and wispy balladry of YOU ARE FREE, or the soul-charged pop of THE GREATEST. DEAR SIR, released in 1995, locates Chan Marshall and Company in post-punk territory with its pulsing rhythms and twining electric guitar lines. But while the sound may channel Joy Division or Throwing Muses at times, Chan Marshall's fragile singing and unique songwriting sensibility are entirely her own: dark, mercurial, and full of desperate honesty. DEAR SIR announces a talent to be reckoned with. This is not Marshall at her most refined, but at her rawest.
Cat Power's first full-length album, Dear Sir, spotlights Chan Marshall's demanding but rewarding songwriting. Her distinctive blend of blues, country, folk and punk creates songs like the dark, noisy "Itchyhead" and "Rockets," which mixes tension and hope, and tops it with Marshall's earnest, expressive vocals. Though the album needs the listener's complete attention, Dear Sir more than keeps it with nine of Marshall's searching meditations on life. ~ Heather Phares

The 1996 album Myra Lee presents a more diverse and fully developed version of Cat Power's music, ranging from the winding, acoustic menace of "Enough" to the sinewy rock of "We All Die." Introspective epics like "Great Expectations," "Faces," and "Wealthy Man" use churning tempos and spiraling guitars to convey Chan Marshall's melancholy musical vision, but gentler songs like the trembling cover ...

| | Cat Power You Are Free CD (2003)
Dear Sir
$10.15 
The first album in four years from Chan Marshall, one of the premier female singer-songwriters of our generation. This album explores the world of relationships and fame. Catchy, intense, and beguiling. Gatefold paper sleeve. Matador. 2003.
Cat Power includes: Chan Marshall (vocals, guitar).
You Are Free arrives nearly five years from her last album of original material, and everything, yet nothing, has changed about Chan Marshall's music. The album's title is as much a statement as it is a challenge, a command to free one's self from the hurt and pain of the past, or to at least find a way of making peace with it. Marshall seems to do both on You Are Free, a collection of songs about finding freedom and peace wherever she can. Initially, the album seems more diffuse ...

| | Sarah McLachlan Afterglow Live CD (2004) With DVD
Dear Sir
$15.79 
This live release captures her 2004 concert tour including over 20 songs with all of Sarah's hits. Sarah lets her fans take a glimpse at her personal life with 20 minutes of behind the scenes footage. The backstage tour will be provided by Sarah's dog, Rex. The package is available in Amaray and Jewelcase packaging.
Personnel: Sarah McLachlan (vocals, guitar, piano); Luke Doucet, Sean Ashby (vocals, guitar); Vincent Jones (vocals, keyboards); Brian Minato (vocals, bass guitar); Ashwin Sood (vocals, drums, percussion); Kathryn Rose (vocals); Dave Kershaw (keyboards, bass guitar).
Like Sarah McLachlan's multi-platinum-selling Mirrorball from 1999, Afterglow Live relies on the breathy Canadian's fluid and faultless vocals and performances -- by McLachlan and band alike -- that are so spot-on that they may well have been cut in the studio. The recording follows the singer through her summer tour, a jaunt that ended up in her hometown of Vancouver -- the 15 tracks are culled from a pair of shows in Toronto. While heavy on material from the 2003 release that gives the record its name, McLachlan classics like "Building a Mystery" and "Sweet Surrender" sound as reliable as ever. But the real meat here is the accompanying 23-track DVD, featuring behind-the-scenes footage, live performances, and videos, specifically director Sophie Muller's confrontational short for "World on Fire," which features McLachlan performing over displays that compare the costs of video production with those of food and medical supplies. ~ James Christopher Monger
Listening to Sarah McLachlan perform live is a lot like listening to her records. Like 1999's multi-platinum-selling ...

| | Steven Brown Brown Plays Tenco/Live 1988 CD (2007) (Import) United Kingdom
Dear Sir
$15.99
First released as a five-song EP on an Italian label in 1988 and re-released as a full CD in 2007 with extra live tracks on LTM, Brown Plays Tenco finds Steven Brown and various compatriots interpreting the work of cult '60s Italian pop singer Luigi Tenco, noted for his sharp, strong singing and songwriting as well as his melodramatic suicide. The original studio tracks, with Tuxedomoon bandmate Peter Principle among the backing musicians, are enjoyable electronic-rock fusions in keeping with Brown's general work, interpreting Tenco's performances for a newer era. The one English-language translation, "Lontano Lontano," brings the elegant but wracked and haunted power of Tenco's work to a wider audience, while the remaining four find Brown assaying the originals quite well, from the brawling kick of the aggressive "Ciao Amore!" to the stark sorrow of "Vedrai Vedrai." The ...
