Cat Power (Chan Marshall) celebrates the 20th anniversary of her landmark 2006 album The Greatest with Redux, a three-song EP arriving January 23, 2026, via Domino Recording Company. Recorded in Austin with GRAMMY-winning producer Stuart Sikes and the all-star Dirty Delta Blues band, Redux captures the soulful, lived-in warmth that made The Greatest a classic. The EP features a newly finished take on James Brown’s “Try Me,” first attempted during the original sessions but never completed, as well as a deeply felt cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” dedicated to her late friend, collaborator, and guitarist Teenie Hodges. Marshall also revisits her own “Could We,” reimagined in the live arrangement that lit up her Greatest world tour.
When The Greatest first dropped in 2006, it signaled a new chapter for Cat Power, it being her first album written entirely by Chan Marshall and steeped in the smoky soul of Memphis, recorded at Ardent Studios with that city’s legendary rhythm players. The record was both a creative and commercial breakthrough, earning raves from Rolling Stone and a historic Shortlist Music Prize win as the first by a woman. Next year will see Cat Power perform The Greatest in its entirety with a very special series of 20th anniversary live shows. Now, with Redux and a full-album anniversary tour kicking off in February 2026, Cat Power is revisiting her defining moment not as nostalgia, but as renewal.
