 Rolling Stone : New CDs: Cat Power, Rosanne Cash
For almost two hours, the camera stays trained on Marshall as she wanders in and out of the frame, strums her electric guitar and sings like she wishes she were somewhere else.
The effect is unsettling but intimate: Marshall, who has put out records as Cat Power since 1995, is one of those blessed, slightly unstable artists whose songs can find that expressway to your spine -- and can also make you wonder how she finds her pants in the morning.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Cat Power: You Are Free
Recorded with an ear for detail but guided by a loose hand, this is the most open, welcoming Cat Power album yet, due largely to Marshall and Adam Kasper's production.
You Are Free has the Cat Power staples -- the hypnotic, repetitive guitar lines and piano figures, Marshall's sublime, conversational voice and unsettled love songs -- but the tone is different.
It is a good, Cat Power-style rave up, but frankly, "He War" and You Are Free as a whole are not as manic or angry as past releases.

 Splendid E-zine: Features: Cat Power
If Chan Marshall, as Cat Power, had stopped releasing albums after Dear Sir and Myra Lee, I’m not so sure I would still be listening to those two albums.
Though I enjoy them, I think my enjoyment of them comes more from the fact that they are important markers on the road Chan Marshall has traveled as her style and voice have become more her own, than as independent works.
There is a care and certainty, in addition to a sense of deeper personal involvement and commitment, to her singing and songs on those two albums that the early works can’t match.
