Cat Power

BIOGRAPHY

Cat Power is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her milestone 2006 album, The Greatest, with Redux, a three-song EP arriving digitally and on 10” vinyl via Domino Recording Company on Friday, January 23, 2026. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.

Recorded by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer and longtime collaborator Stuart Sikes (Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes) at Austin, TX’s Church House Studios with backing by Dirty Delta Blues – the all-star supergroup assembled for the world tour that followed The Greatest comprising guitarist Judah Bauer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), keyboardist Gregg Foreman (The Delta 72, Jesse Malin), bassist Erik Paparozzi (Lizard Music), and drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, Hard Quartet) – Redux includes a brand new re-recording of James Brown’s chart-topping classic, “Try Me,” out now. The track was among those first recorded by the singer-songwriter, otherwise known as Chan Marshall, during the original sessions that produced but were never completed.

Cat Power’s seventh studio album, The Greatest proved an immediate landmark in her already acclaimed career upon its January 2006 release. Recorded at Memphis, TN’s famed Ardent Studios with backing from some of that city’s most renowned session musicians, the album marked the first Cat Power release to exclusively feature songs written by Marshall, performed with understated Southern soulfulness and stunning creative confidence. The Greatest was met by worldwide critical applause while entering the Billboard 200 at #34 – Cat Power’s biggest commercial success to that date. Named by Rolling Stone at #6 on its “Top 50 Albums of 2006” as well #26 on its “100 Best Albums of the 2000s,” the collection was awarded with 2006’s prestigious Shortlist Music Prize, making history as the first album by a female artist to be accorded that honor. The album was also nominated for a Brit Award for Best International Female Vocal. The release was followed by a marathon world tour that saw Marshall backed by Dirty Delta Blues, an electrifying supergroup named after its members’ musical origins and later featured on 2008’s even more commercially successful Jukebox.
