Early life

[edit]

Charlyn Marie Marshall was born January 21, 1972, inAtlanta, Georgia,the second child of Charlie Marshall, abluesmusician and pianist, and Myra Lee Marshall (néeRussell).[8]She has one older sister, Miranda ( "Mandy" ).[9]Her maternal grandfather was ofNative Americanancestry.[10]Her parents divorced in 1979[9]and remarried shortly thereafter.[3]Her mother remarried and had a son, Lenny,[11]and the family traveled around often because of her stepfather's profession.[11]

Marshall attended ten different schools throughout the Southern U.S. inGreensboro;BartlettandMemphisand throughout Georgia andSouth Carolina.At times she was left in the care of her grandmother.[9]She was not allowed to buy records when she was growing up, but she listened to her stepfather's record collection, which included artistsOtis Redding,Creedence Clearwater RevivalandThe Rolling Stones,[12]as well as her parents' records, which includedBlack Flag,Sister Sledge,andBarry White.[13]In sixth grade, she adopted the nicknameChan(pronounced "Shawn" ), which she would later use professionally.[14]When she was 13, she listened tothe Smiths,the CureandSiouxsie and the Banshees.She had to save up to buy cassettes and the first one she got was a record bythe Misfits.[15]As a high schooler in Atlanta, she saw shows by punk bands including a Cramps show at which the Flat Duo Jets opened.[16]She has referenced multiple times the influence of Dex Romweber from the Flat Duo Jets,[17]and she bought her first guitar because it looked like his black and white Silvertone.[16]At age 16, Marshall dropped out of high school and became estranged from her mother, having no further contact with her until she was 24.[3]

Religion was a large part of Marshall's upbringing; her father was aJehovah's Witness,[13]though she attendedSouthern Baptistchurches with her grandmother, where she began singing while learninghymns.[18][19]

Career

[edit]

1992–1995: Beginnings

[edit]

Marshall's first instrument was a 1950sSilvertoneguitar,[3]which she taught herself to play.[13]While working in a pizzeria, she began playing music in Atlanta in the late-1980s with Glen Thrasher, Marc Moore, Damon Moore and Fletcher Liegerot, who would get together forjam sessionsin a basement.[20]The group were booked for a show and had to come up with a name quickly; after seeing a man wearing aCaterpillartrucker capthat read: "Cat Diesel Power", Marshall choseCat Poweras the name of the band.[3][21]

While in Atlanta, Marshall played her first live shows as support to her friends' bands, including Magic Bone andOpal Foxx Quartet.[22]In a 2007 interview, she explained that the music itself was more experimental and that playing shows was often an opportunity for her and her friends "to get drunk and take drugs".[23]A number of her local peers became entrenched inheroinuse.[3]After the death of her boyfriend, and the subsequent loss of her best friend toAIDS,Marshall relocated toNew York Cityin 1992 with Glen Thrasher.[24]A new boyfriend helped her get a job in a restaurant.[25]

Thrasher introduced her to New York'sfree jazzandexperimental musicscene.[23]After attending a concert byAnthony Braxton,she gave her first New York show of improvisational music at a warehouse inBrooklyn.[26]One of her shows during this period was as the support act toMan or Astro-man?and consisted of her playing a two-string guitar and singing the word "no" for 15 minutes.[27]Around this time, she met the bandGod Is My Co-Pilot,who assisted with the release of her first single, "Headlights",in a limited run of 500 copies on their Making of Americans label.

Marshall recorded simultaneously her first two albumsDear SirandMyra Leein December 1994 in a small basement studio nearMott Streetin New York City, with guitarist Tim Foljahn andSonic Youthdrummer Steve Shelley; Marshall and Shelley had initially met after she played a show opening forLiz Phairin 1993.[28][29]A total of 20 songs were recorded in a single day by the trio, all of which were split into two records, making upDear SirandMyra Lee,released respectively in October 1995 and March 1996.[30]AlthoughDear Siris considered Marshall's debut album, it is more the length of anEP.

1996–2003: Early Matador releases

[edit]

In 1996, Marshall signed toMatador Records[31]and in September released her third album,What Would the Community Think,which she recorded inMemphis, Tennessee,in February 1996.[32]The album was produced by Shelley and again featured Shelley and Foljahn as backing musicians, and spawned a single and music video, "Nude as the News"about the abortion she had at the age of 20.[33][34]Critics cited the album as evidence of her maturation as a singer and songwriter from the "dense and cathartic" material of her first two releases.[33][35]

After the release ofWhat Would the Community Think,Marshall took a trip toSouth Africa,after which she left New York City and moved toPortland, Oregon,[36]where she found temporary employment as a babysitter.[37]In the spring of 1997, Marshall relocated with her then-boyfriend, musicianBill Callahan,to a ruralfarmhouseinProsperity, South Carolina.[38][37]After experiencing ahypnogogic nightmarewhile alone in the farmhouse,[39]Marshall wrote six new songs that would go on to make up the bulk of her following album,Moon Pix(1998),[40]which she recorded at Sing Sing Studios inMelbourne,Australia, with backing musiciansMick TurnerandJim Whiteof the Australian bandDirty Three.[41][42]Moon Pixwas well received by critics, and along with an accompanying music video for the song "Cross Bones Style",helped her gain further recognition.[43][44]Rolling Stonewould later describe it as her 'breakthrough' record.[45]

In 1999 Marshall performed in a series of shows where she provided musical accompaniment to thesilent movieThe Passion of Joan of Arc.[46]The shows combined original material and covers, some of which would be released on Marshall's fifth album,The Covers Recordin 2000. The songs were recorded during two sessions in the summer of 1998 and fall of 1999. Additionally, she performed eleven covers during aPeel sessionbroadcast on June 18, 2000, that included own interpretations ofBob Dylan's "Hard Times in New York Town"andOasis's "Wonderwall".[47]Her contract with Matador for 2000'sThe Covers Albumreportedly consisted of aPost-it notesigned by herself and the company's founder.[25]

During the early-2000s, Marshall was embraced by the fashion industry for her "neo grunge" look, and seen as a muse by designersMarc JacobsandNicolas Ghesquière.[48]In 2001 she modeled inNew Yorkmagazine's fall fashion issue and was photographed by her friendsMark BorthwickandKatja Rahlwes,who featured her inPurplemagazinealongsideCatherine Deneuve.[48]

In February 2003, Marshall releasedYou Are Free,her first album of original material in five years.[49]The album, which featured guest musicians such asEddie Vedder,Dave Grohl,andWarren Ellis,became the first charting Cat Power album, reaching 105 onthe Billboard 200.A music video directed by Brett Vapnek was released for the song "He War".Marshall toured extensively through 2003 and 2004, playing shows in Europe, Brazil, the U.S. and Australia.[25]During this period, Marshall's live performances had become erratic and unpredictable, and a 2003The New Yorkerarticle suggested: "It is foolhardy to describe a Cat Power event as a concert," citing "rambling confessions" and "[talking] to a friend's baby from the stage."[50]Marshall later attributed this period to a drinking problem.[51]Around the time of the release ofYou Are Free,Marshall purchased a house inSouth Beach, Miami.[26]

Personal life

[edit]

As part of her recovery, she was admitted to the psychiatric ward atMount Sinai Medical Center & Miami Heart Institute,leaving after a week.[51]Marshall gave a first person account of her breakdown in an interview for the November 2006 issue ofSpin.[19]

In June 2012, it was reported that Marshall had ended her relationship with Ribisi, and the completion of her upcoming record had coincided with their breakup: "I cut my hair off three days [after the breakup], got on a plane to France, and finished the shit."[90]Shortly after the release ofSun,Marshall began having trouble breathing and was hospitalized multiple times, though doctors were unable to diagnose her. "I thought I was dying," she recounted. "They told me they were going to put me in acomato save my lungs. My friend came to visit and told me I'd made theBillboardTop 10and all I could think was: 'I don't want to die.' "[91]Marshall was subsequently diagnosed with hereditaryangioedema,an immune disorder that causes sporadic swelling of the face and throat due to C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency.

Artistry

[edit]

Musical style

[edit]

Marshall's releases as Cat Power have frequently been noted by critics for their somber, blues-influenced instrumentation and melancholy lyrics, leadingLA Weeklyto dub her the "queen ofsadcore".[2]Marshall, however, claims that her music is often misinterpreted, and that many of her songs are "not sad, [but] triumphant".[96]She has recounted blues, oldsoul music,British rock 'n' roll, as well as hymns and gospel music as being integral influences on her.[97]

Cat Power's early releases have been described as blending elements of punk, folk, and blues, while her later releases (post-2000) began to incorporate more sophisticated arrangements and production.[98][99][100]The Greatest(2006), Marshall's seventh release, was heavily soul-influenced and incorporatedR&Belements; the Memphis Rhythm Band provided backing instrumentation on the album.[101]Unlike her previous releases, which featured sparse guitar and piano arrangements,The Greatestwas described by Marshall biographer Sarah Goodman as her first "full-blown studio record with sophisticated production and senior players backing [Marshall] up".[102]

Performances

[edit]

Marshall's live shows have been known for their unpolished and often erratic nature, with songs beginning and ending abruptly or blending into one another without clear transitions.[103]She has also cut short performances without explanation.[104]On some occasions this has been attributed tostage fright[105]and the influence of alcohol.[106]Marshall spoke openly about suffering from severe bouts of stage fright, specifically in her early career, and admitted that her stage fright stemmed from issues regarding depression,alcoholism,and substance abuse.[107]

By 2006, she had found new collaborators and had stopped drinking.[107]Marshall's performance style became more enthusiastic and professional;[108]a review inSalon[109]noted that she was "delivering onstage", and calledThe Greatest"polished and sweetly upbeat".

Philanthropy and activism

[edit]

A live version of the gospel song "Amazing Grace"—culled from a performance with the Dirty Delta Blues band—was released on the charity compilationDark Was the Night.Released by independent British label 4AD on February 17, 2009, the set benefited theRed Hot Organization,an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. She also appeared in aPETAad, encouraging people to spay and neuter their pets.[21]

On December 25, 2011, Marshall released a reworking of theWhat Would the Community Thinktrack "King Rides By" for download from her official website, with all proceeds from sales of the track being donated to The Festival of Children Foundation and TheAli Forney Center.[110]A music video directed byGiovanni Ribisiand featuringFilipinoboxer and politicianManny Pacquiaowas released to promote the song.[111]
