Cat Power – Sun (CD, JAPAN)

“Sun is the first album of original material from Cat Power in over six years. Chan Marshall performed and produced Sun herself in various locations including a studio she built in Malibu.”

“So I got [touring band] the Dirty Delta Blues to come to my house in Malibu and I played them these skeletons in their headphones. I said, “All right, now let’s play along live.” We did that for five months, intermittently. We were touring, and I was trying to get them to be tighter live, so when we returned it would get tighter, too. But it didn’t work out the way I hoped. On the album, “Ruin” is the only song that you hear the band on.”

Judah Bauer is credited with ‘Break Arrangement’ on Cherokee and plays guitar on both Cherokee and Ruin.

Sun is also available as a double LP/CD, deluxe clear vinyl double LP/7″/DL (featuring additional tracks Fire and Back In The Days (For Christopher Wallace)).

Judah Bauer plays guitar on this album, Dark End of the Street and the Jukebox and played in the live band (known as ‘Dirty Delta Blues’).
