Carr's Dark End of the Street is a great song.

nice.

but the omission of space oddity is a crime.

her version is probably my favorite cover of that song.

that redding song is tops, but i'd prefer original material as well

I really want to hear the Redding and Flying Burriton Brothers (that's how I know the song) covers.

I've never heard the original version, but The Flying Burrito Brothers do a great version.

When will Cat Power write her own songs again? I like covers and all, but I like original songs from you too, Chan...

this is alright, but it lacks inspiration. she needs a kick in the ass and create original stuff again.

she is a sweet bored girl

You'd have to think that she'd have a heap of new material ready to go by now.

The Fortunate Son treatment is tight.

It Ain't Fair is a lovely closer.
