Once I wanted to be the greatest....

After promising over the weekend and not delivering, Matador's put up an MP3 of Cat Power's "The Greatest". I like Matador putting up MP3s months in advance like they did with "Twin Cinema". And this song? I'm not go to go with the Dusty Springfield comparisons people have made - I mean, jesus, have these people actually heard Dusty in Memphis? - but the fuller sound does treat Ms. Marshall well, and she's never overwhelmed. I don't think it strays too far from formula; it's You Are Free with session musicians. I wonder what the next of the album will bring us next year...
