Cat Power, also known as Chan Marshall, is a singularly gifted song interpreter whose catalog includes eleven studio albums, three of which are critically acclaimed cover albums (2000’s The Covers Record, 2008’s Jukebox, 2022’s Covers).

Last November in London, Power took the stage at Royal Albert Hall and delivered a song-for-song recreation of one of the most fabled and transformative live sets of all time. Held at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966—but long known as the “Royal Albert Hall Concert” due to a mislabeled bootleg—the original performance saw Bob Dylan switching from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing ire from an audience of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock-and-roll.

In Cat Power’s rendition of that historic night, she inhabited each song with equal parts conviction and grace and a sense of protectiveness over the music. Power is noted for ultimately transposing the original tension of Dylan’s set with a newfound warm and luminous joy.

As revealed on Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, Power approaches every song in the setlist with both heartfelt reverence and a deep understanding of the delicate nature of song interpretation.
