Covers

Nothing makes me feel as calm and tranquil as listening to my one hundred eighteenth pick.

Artist - Cat Power
Album - The Covers Record
Released - 2000
Label - Matador
Genre - Indie Rock

Tracks:
Side A
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Kingsport Town
Trouble Waters
Naked if I Want To
Sweedeedee
In This Hole
Side B
I Found A Reason
Wild is the Wind
Red Apples
Paths of Victory
Salty Dog
Sea of Love

Listening to Chan Marshall aka Cat Power sing is very relaxing.  Not only did I chose this record today for the simple fact that two of my favorite songs are on it (I Found A Reason and Sea of Love), it's because a friend spoke of her earlier today and I remembered I had this album.  This is just a stripped down version of cover songs sung by Chan with her unique touch added.  I've been a fan of Cat Power since my cousin told me about her in early 2000 and when I watched V for Vendetta a few years later and heard her cover to I Found A Reason, I swear I must have listened to that song a million times.  This album will get you through some emotional moments or maybe just those days where you feel like things are not going right.  

Enjoy!
