An Evening with Cat Power: The Greatest

About

Twenty years on, Cat Power’s The Greatest is still one of the most astounding records ever to be heard – a late-night classic that still feels as intimate two decades after it first blew our minds and broke our hearts.

This summer, Love Police transport you back to 2006 when Cat Power returns to Australia for a run of special shows performing her seminal album The Greatest in full, alongside songs spanning one of the most singular songbooks of the last three decades.

Recorded in Memphis with members of the legendary Hi Rhythm section, The Greatest saw Cat Power aka Chan Marshall step into the warm glow of Southern soul and make it entirely her own.

The album drifts through heartbreak, survival, longing and grace with the kind of restraint that only makes the emotional weight hit harder. From the slow-burn sway of “Living Proof” to the bruised beauty of the title track, these songs endure because they tell the truth softly.

There are few artists who can hold a room the way Cat Power can. Experience the magic of The Greatest and re-enter the orbit of the early millennium in this raw, hypnotic show this December.
