"Dark End Of The Street" (2008, Matador Records) is a double-10" vinyl offering from Cat Power. The release contains 6 cover versions, which were the excess fat trimmed from Cat Power's early '08 release "Jukebox."
The album kicks off w/the title track, an old soul tune which Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) has given her trademark moody rendition. In addition, "Dark End..." gives makeovers to "Fortunate Son" (slower, moodier than CCR's original version) and "Ye Auld Triangle" (more toned down than the Pogues original).
One of the album's highlights is a cover of "It Ain't Fair" (Aretha Franklin); Marshall's take is (once again) moodier than the previous version, but it remains one of the albums best cuts, a spellbinding album-ender.
Apparently, this album is a limited-edition release, so don't hesitate if you're a fan of Cat Power's recent releases: "The Greatest" (2006) & "Jukebox" (2008). It is unknown if "Dark End" will surface on CD format.
That's it. A quickie review for a quickie album.
