  • About this album: Cat Power goes electric. Recorded on November 5, 2022, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the album is a faithful recreation of Dylan's historic set at the Manchester Free Trade Hall on May 17, 1966, right down to the switch to electric instruments half-way through. The show even includes an audience member shouting "Judas!" in the same manner that a person did to Dylan during his Manchester concert. It's referenced as the Royal Albert Hall performance in deference to how the original Dylan album was erroneously labeled after being bootlegged in 1966. Atlanta’s own Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power) is clearly having a blast interpreting the material. Her covers are always awesome, but this album is next level.

  • Metacritic Score: 77 (Generally Favorable Reviews).

  • Grammy Nominations: None.

  • Song To Sample: She Belongs To Me and Ballad Of A Thin Man.
