With her defiant black slashes of slutty black eyeliner, perfect pink lipstick pout, and Beatle-wife hair, Chan Marshall (a.k.a. Cat Power) still looks like the ultimate cool girl, three decades into her astonishing and sometimes troubled career. A muse and model for late Chanel head Karl Lagerfeld, a girlfriend to enigmatic minstrel Bill Callahan, an occasional actress who’s worked opposite Jude Law, and a pal to Warren Ellis and Nick Cave, Chan has been known to lie down on stage when she thinks the show is going poorly (there’s that troubled part). She’s recorded 11 full-length albums—eight with her own compositions and three containing covers of other artists’ work, including her latest, recorded at London’s celebrated Royal Albert Hall in a one-night appearance, where she insisted on covering Bob Dylan’s historic 1966 “Royal Albert Hall concert” song for song. And yes, she knows the Dylan show actually took place in Manchester.
