		Cat Power is Chan Marshall singing and playing guitar in a way you won't believe.
		One of the many little details I love about Cat Power is the way Chan will slip in lines from other songs into her own, anything from "Amazing Grace" to Sonic Youth's "Schizophrenia." It keeps you on your toes.
		CP: The real dance song is "Cross Bones Style." I'm thinking of making that the single and doing a full-on "Lucky Star"-style video.

	FAME Review: Cindy Combs - Slack Key Lady
		Over the years she's written numerous songs, recorded with a number of other musicians, and now releases this, her second solo album.
		One moment she is sultry and smoky with a jazz-tinged version of the Hawaiian standard Sweet Leilani; the next moment, she is gentle and rolling as she leans a little more into a traditional vocal approach on Kipu, her own song.
		It may be a quieter album than many slack key guitar recordings I have heard, but that is not a bad thing.

	FAME Review: Ozzie Kotanl - To Honor a Queen
		In high school, after hearing Keola Beamer's landmark album Hawaiian Slack Key In The Real Old Style, Ozzie was inspired to take up the guitar, and by 1976, he was a student of slack key master, Sonny Chillingworth.
		In 1986, Ozzie took over the slack key program at the University of Hawaii and began developing teaching materials and original compositions, which were showcased on his landmark 1988 album, "Classical Slack." The album brought him to the attention of George Winston, who asked Ozzie to record for his Dancing Cat label.
		For those interested in the technical aspects of the guitar playing, the majority of the songs were recorded using the "Taro Patch" tuning (D-G-D-G-B-D), although tuned down to F# on two of the songs.
