Cat Power shares new Bob Dylan covers, “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Like A Rolling Stone”
Renowned singer-songwriter Cat Power has shared two more songs from the forthcoming album, Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert.
Cat Power showcases her distinct and evocative takes on “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Like A Rolling Stone”.
Alongside the new songs, the artist otherwise known as Chan Marshall, announces a Valentine’s Day performance at America’s premiere concert hall, Carnegie Hall. The show is a 15-song recreation of Dylan’s 1966 acoustic and electric performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall and is a companion to her album.
“More than the work of any other songwriter,” says Chan Marshall, “Dylan’s songs have spoken to me, and inspired me since I first began hearing them at five years old.”
Recorded 5 November 2022 at London’s vaunted Royal Albert Hall, Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert sees Marshall paying tribute to Bob Dylan with a complete live reimagining of his legendary performance at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966. Long known as the “Royal Albert Hall Concert” due to a mislabeled bootleg, the original performance saw Dylan switching from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing the ire of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock ‘n’ roll.
Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert both lovingly honours Dylan’s imprint on history and brings a stunning new vitality to many of his most revered songs, including the recently released “She Belongs to Me” and “Ballad of a Thin Man".
Cat Power is set to release her new live album, Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, on 10 November via Domino Records.
