Cat Power Rocks the 'Jukebox' | WFAE 90.7 - Charlotte's NPR News Source

We test-drive some of today's new music releases with Lizzy Goodman of _Blender_ magazine. The Whigs, from Athens, Ga., are out with a second record. The first, _Give 'Em All a Big

Fat Lip_, was self-released but got lots of mainstream attention. They recorded it with equipment they bought on eBay and sold the equipment when they were done. They recorded the new

album, _Mission Control_, at Sunset Sound Studios, where The Doors, The Beach Boys, and Prince also recorded. Jack Penate's _Matinee_ has been out for a while in the UK and is a bit of

a phenomenon over there. It's fantastic, bizarre, singer-songwriter pop. He's hard to pin down but a lot of fun. The Fleshtones have been around a while. They like to point out

that they're the only Max's Kansas City/CBGB's era band that has never broken up. They call their music "super rock." Lizzy Goodman says _Take a Good Look_

"makes you want to be in a convertible." _Jukebox_ is Cat Power's second covers album. She can get away with so many covers because she's so talented at reinterpreting

other people's music. It's a skill and not one that even the most talented performers have. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
