Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power is gearing up for the release of her new live album Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert. The record is scheduled to land on November 10th on Domino Recording Co.
The concert was originally performed on November 5th, 2022 at London’s Royal Albert Hall, finding Marshall delivering a new spin on the various Bob Dylan tunes performed at his original 1966 show.
Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert follows Cat Powers 2022 LP Covers.
Touching on the release, Cat Power stated:
“More than the work of any other songwriter, Dylan’s songs have spoken to me, and inspired me since i first began hearing them at 5 years old.
When singing ‘She Belongs To Me’ in the past, sometimes I turned it into a first-person narrative – ’I am an artist, I don’t look back.’ I really identified with it like that. ut for the show at Royal Albert Hall, I, of course, sang it the way it was originally written – with the respect for the composition…and the great composer.
It was something impulsive. I wasn’t expecting the audience to recreate their part of the original show as well, but then I wanted to set the record straight – in a way, Dylan is a deity to all of us who write songs.”
