Listen to their cover of James Brown’s “Try Me” below. The track was among those first recorded by Marshall during the original sessions that produced The Greatest, but never completed.

The EP also includes newly recorded versions of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” (dedicated to the late Memphis Rhythm Band guitarist Teenie Hodges, who played on The Greatest) and and Cat Power’s own “Could We”. It will be released digitally and on 10” vinyl via Domino on January 23. Pre-order here.

Next year will see Cat Power perform The Greatest in its entirety with a series of 20th anniversary live shows beginning in North America in February and reaching the UK in November. See the full list of dates below.
