Restraint is key here, although troubling images and a distinct undercurrent of unease percolate through songs like the hypnotic "Cross Bones Style." | | Elsewhere, the surprising "American Flag" adds a new but not inappropriate trip-hop vibe, and the delicate "He Turns Down" recalls the best work of early-'70s neo-folkies like Judee Sill or Linda Perhacs, complete with trilling, jazz-inflected flute. However it's the almost stark quietude of "Say," with its perfectly appropriate thunderstorm effects rumbling in the distance, which best sums up the small epiphanies of this often beautiful album. |

| | Artist Overview | | Indie singer-songwriter Chan Marshall somewhat reluctantly began recording under the name Cat Power in the mid-1990s. Often withdrawn and always unapologetically eccentric, Marshall nonetheless managed to win over a steadily growing following, thanks to her distinct, emotive voice and simple yet potent songs. A penchant for erratic live performances enhanced Marshall's intriguing persona, while her lo-fi, folk-based music itself garnered increasing acclaim. In 2006, Marshall went public with her struggle with alcohol and drug abuse, which only endeared her further to her fans, and she released what may be her strongest and most critically and popularly respected album, THE GREATEST. |

| | Professional Reviews | | CMJ (2/11/99, p.9)
- "...MOON PIX's subtly intense heart-breaking beauty made 1998 [singer/songwriter Chan] Marshall's year, and if her dry shiver of a voice made you uncomfortable at times, it's only because it made her uncomfortable, too..." |
