Chan Marshall, she who is Cat Power, returned to Memphis to record at the home of Southern soul music at Ardent Studios with some of the original Memphis Soul musicians, on this new album.

From the first tune, a mournful and gorgeous ballad with swelling strings, backing singer and shimmery guitar accompaniment that tells the tale of a boy who wants to become a great boxer, it's a delve into the past that seems to have paid off, as on these Songs she sits easily with the gentle dusty analog Southern sounds that bridge black and white musics.

All the songs are pretty, slow and melancholy; there's nothing like "He War" on here, just gentle full songs.

This is the limited Edition special cd as well so you get a hidden track and it's a digipack.
