659. Cat Power - you are free

Finally a Cat Power record that picks up the pace a bit... with Dave Grohl sitting in on drums for a couple of songs (though it's the Unplugged Grohl and not the Nevermind Grohl playing), Cat Power's songs benefit from the added dimension - through in piano and a plugged in guitar and she sounds perfect. It's a shame though that the entire album isn't as driven as "Speak For Me", but that's me just being selfish - I really want to hear her fuck shit up, as they say in America.
