Cat Power

In the organizer's words:

Cat Power celebrates the 20th anniversary of their milestone 2006 album The Greatest with the EP Redux. The three songs will be released digitally and on 10-inch vinyl via Domino Recording Company on Friday, January 23, 2026. The EP was recorded by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer and longtime collaborator Stuart Sikes(Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes) at Church House Studios in Austin, Texas, with support from Dirty Delta Blues - the all-star supergroup assembled for the world tour following The Greatest . The band consists of guitarist Judah Bauer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), keyboardist Gregg Foreman (The Delta 72, Jesse Malin), bassist Erik Paparozzi (Lizard Music) and drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, Hard Quartet). Redux includes a brand new re-recording of James Brown's chart-topping classic Try Me, premiering everywhere today. This track was among the first recordings made by the singer-songwriter, also known as Chan Marshall, during the original recording sessions for The Greatest, which were never completed.

Redux also includes a stunning rendition of Prince's legendary Nothing Compares 2 U, recorded as a tribute to the late guitarist Teenie Hodges, a legendary member of the Memphis Rhythm Band who accompanied Cat Power on The Greatest and with whom she formed a close friendship before his death in 2014. The EP also includes a reinterpreted version of Marshall's Could We, one of The Greatest 's many standout tracks, re-recorded in the arrangement from The Greatest tour's live performances with Dirty Delta Blues.

Next year, Cat Power will present The Great est in full as part of a special series of 20th anniversary concerts. It will kick off on February 12, 2026 at the White Oak Music Hall in Houston, Texas. She will then tour North America, Europe and the UK until early November.

Cat Power's seventh studio album The Greatest immediately set a milestone in her already celebrated career after its release in January 2006. Recorded at the famed Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, with the assistance of some of the city's most renowned studio musicians, it was Cat Power's first album to feature songs written exclusively by Marshall, interpreted with understated Southern soul and impressive creative aplomb. The Greatest was critically acclaimed worldwide and entered the Billboard 200 at number 34 - Cat Power's biggest commercial success to date. Voted #6 on Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2006" and #26 on the "100 Best Albums of the 2000s", the album was awarded the prestigious 2006 Shortlist Music Prize, making history as the first album by a female artist to receive this honor. The album was also nominated for a Brit Award in the category "Best International Female Vocal Performance".

We are very much looking forward to welcoming Cat Power to Hamburg next fall, on October 12th at the Docks.
