Cat Power

In September 1998, when Cat Power performed "Cross Bones Style" at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, she was in the midst of her career's formative years. This live recording occurred shortly after the release of her critically acclaimed album "Moon Pix," which came out earlier that same year. This album marked a significant turning point for Cat Power, showcasing her distinctive blend of folk, rock, and blues while receiving praise for its emotive power and raw simplicity. The performance at the intimate venue reflects her early career's DIY spirit and focus on connecting with audiences through heartfelt music. Notably, during this period, she was beginning to gain traction in the indie music scene, which would later lead to her becoming a prominent figure in alternative rock. The raw energy of the live show captures a moment just before her more extensive recognition would unfold.
