I have recently discovered Cat Power (Chan Marshall) and she is just blowing me away. This music is some of the most original, haunting and beautiful stuff I have heard in years. It may not be your cup of tea but if you have never listened to her tunes you should check her out. Don,t know about her early stuff but this new recording is great.
