Cat Power - The Greatest (20th Anniversary Pink Foil Cover Edition with Pink Coloured Vinyl)

Available for the album’s 20th anniversary, Cat Power’s The Greatest on pink vinyl with a limited reprinting of the original pink foil cover.

For The Greatest, Chan Marshall returned to Memphis, pursuing the slinky Hi Records sound of the 70s, famed for its sensuous feel and beguiling rhythms. She got Al Green’s guitarist and songwriting partner Mabon “Teenie” Hodges to play guitar on the whole album (Teenie co-wrote “Love and Happiness” and “Take Me to the River,” among other soul classics). With Teenie came his Hi Rhythm bandmate (and brother) Leroy “Flick” Hodges, who plays on half of the album. Anchoring the band is Steve Potts, whose reputation on drums was solidified when the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG’s asked him to replace their late drummer, Al Jackson. Other top Memphis musicians guest on key-boards, horns and strings. Cat Power went right to the sources, and created her own paean to the songs and styles she grew up on.
