Was listening to Moon Pix this morning, an old Cat Power CD.. and my nifty iTunes tells me that there's a new album out.. Being poor and well.. poor, I just downloaded "The Greatest" off line. And honestly, I think it lives up to it's moniker. I'm all for the angst ridden American Flag Cat Power.. but The Greatest is beautiful in it's semi-Fleetwood/EmmyLou Harris opium way. A little more country ( like "What Would The Community Think" distilled).. its still very sexy and lyrically awesome. The title track has "Moon River" strings in it, and "Lived in Bars" was written for every waitress or alcoholic (pretty much the same thing) out there. Has enough melody for Sunday mornings.. but it doesn't wear underwear on Saturday night.
