If anyone can breath new life and cool into covering songs its Chan Marshall of Cat Power! Jukebox, released in 2008 came with a sigh of relief from fans who had been waiting 8 years for the artist to re-immerge with something else to add to the collections.

More upbeat certainly, but nothing far off her usual pace. Her swiftness is all there, as well as her shredding moods.
