Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) releases her second album of cover songs, entitled 'Jukebox'. The CD features interpretations of songs originally recorded by Frank Sinatra, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jessie Mae Hemphill and others.

'Jukebox' is produced by Chan's regular collaborator Stuart Sikes and recorded with her touring outfit The Dirty Delta Blues Band (consisting of drummer Jim White from the Dirty Three, guitarist Judah Bauer of the Blues Explosion, keyboardist Gregg Foreman who has also worked with the Blues Explosion, and bassist Erik Paparazzi.)

Guests that appear on the album include Spooner Oldham (Neil Young, Janis Joplin and other luminaries too numerous to mention), Larry McDonald (Toots & The Maytals, Taj Mahal), Teenie Hodges (Al Green), and Matt Sweeney (Chavez.) 'Jukebox' also features two Cat Power originals - a brand new track "Song to Bobby" and a rework of '98s "Metal Heart".
