Cat Power Sings Dylan ’66
The infinitely gifted singer-songwriter Cat Power takes on Bob Dylan’s legendary 1966 'Royal Albert Hall' concert.
Despite an album labelling error, Bob Dylan’s legendary ‘Royal Albert Hall’ Concert did not take place in London. In fact, the counterculture icon played at the Manchester Free Trade Hall at the end of his ‘Dylan Goes Electric’ tour. Dylan’s transition from folk to rock sparked great controversy amongst the audience, with one person even heckling ‘Judas!’
It’s this iconic performance that the infinitely gifted singer-songwriter Chan Marshall – AKA Cat Power – has chosen to take on. From ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ to ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, this is a song-by-song recreation of Dylan’s set list. Admired for her own triumphant lyrics, Marshall’s ‘masterful’ (The Line of Best Fit) live cover project demonstrates her steadfast devotion to her ‘God’ Dylan.
Experience the drama and brilliance of Dylan’s 1966 ’Royal Albert Hall’ concert in Marshall’s ‘dusky, sacred voice’ (The Guardian) – with an injection of her ethereality, spirit and idiosyncratic charm.
