Cat Power

The Greatest - 20th Anniversary Edition Pink Vinyl

£34.99

Released: 10th July 2026. Available for the album's 20th anniversary, Cat Power's 'The Greatest' on pink vinyl with a limited reprinting of the original pink foil cover. For 'The Greatest', Chan Marshall returned to Memphis, pursuing the slinky Hi Records sound of the '70s, famed for its sensuous feel and beguiling rhythms. She got Al Green's guitarist and songwriting partner Mabon 'Teenie' Hodges to play guitar on the whole album. With Teenie came his Hi Rhythm bandmate (and brother) Leroy 'Flick' Hodges, who plays on half of the album (Memphis A-team bassist Dave Smith supplements). Anchoring the band is Steve Potts, whose reputation on drums was solidified when the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG's asked him to replace their late drummer, Al Jackson. Other top Memphis musicians guest on key-boards, horns and strings. Cat Power went right to the sources, and created her own paean to the songs and styles she grew up on.
