Cat Power<\/a>\u2019s Chan Marshall has always had the Midas touch when it comes to covers. 2000s The Covers Record<\/em> yielded some of her greatest hits, such as her stripped back rendition of Phil Phillips\u2019 \u201cSea of Love.\u201d It\u2019s no wonder Marshall\u2019s return is another interpretation, a moody rendition of James Brown\u2019s \u201cTry Me\u201d to celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of The Greatest<\/em>, backed by the Dirty Delta Blues. Marshall suits the groove of soul well, because her songs always ride on instinct, never feeling mannered or overly contrived. Even while interpreting the R&B of Brown, Marshall evokes the minimalist style of nineties rock in her arrangement, cutting the bright, jazzy parts with lethargic rhythms. The cover succeeds because of Marshall\u2019s notorious raw vocal, which imbues every note with an air of vulnerability. When she groans, \u201cOh, I need you\u201d for the final time as \u201cTry Me\u201d closes, it\u2019s a real plea. When it comes to covers, every musician knows about the line between paying homage and making a song your own\u2014Cat Power always toes it beautifully. \u2014Caroline Nieto<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Leave it to Death Valley Girls to make a Christmas song, jingle bells and all, that still somehow sounds like the jazziest of s\u00e9ances. \u201cSeason of Dreaming,\u201d recorded for wintertime collab record Slow Xmas 5<\/em>, finds Death Valley Girls seamlessly slipping their eerie garage-psych into the mode of holiday cheer, in their own way. Written and produced by Bonnie Bloomgarden with longtime collaborator Mark Rains, the track swirls together organ, sax, and ghostly percussion into something equal parts lullaby and hallucination. Really, it\u2019s less a Christmas song than a spell cast in sleet; three minutes of warm breath on cold glass. Bloomgarden\u2019s voice hovers at the edge of reverence, while Sarah Safaie\u2019s sax drifts like smoke through the mix. You can almost feel the static of December in the light bells ringing in the back, the promise that the year might still hold a little magic if you listen closely enough\u2014just don\u2019t be surprised if said magic is of the spectral, witchy variety. \u2014Casey Epstein-Gross<\/em><\/p>\n
