Cat Power is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her milestone 2006 album, The Greatest with Redux, a three-song EP arriving digitally and on 10″ vinyl via Domino Recording Company on Friday, January 23, 2026. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.
Recorded by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer and longtime collaborator Stuart Sikes (Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes) at Austin, TX’s Church House Studios with backing by Dirty Delta Blues – the all-star supergroup assembled for the world tour that followed The Greatest comprising guitarist Judah Bauer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), keyboardist Gregg Foreman (The Delta 72, Jesse Malin), bassist Erik Paparozzi (Lizard Music), and drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, Hard Quartet) – Redux includes a brand new re-recording of James Brown’s chart-topping classic, “Try Me,” premiering everywhere today. The track was among those first recorded by the singer-songwriter, otherwise known as, during the original sessions that produced but were never completed.
Redux also includes a stunning rendition of Prince’s iconic “Nothing Compares 2 U,” recorded in tribute to the late, great guitarist Teenie Hodges, a legendary member of The Memphis Rhythm Band that backed Cat Power on The Greatest and with whom she formed a close bond before his passing in 2014. The EP also includes a re-imagined version of one of the many standout tracks on The Greatest, Marshall’s own “Could We,” newly recorded in the arrangement that was performed live on The Greatest Tour with Dirty Delta Blues.
Next year will see Cat Power perform The Greatest in its entirety with a very special series of 20th anniversary live shows beginning February 12, 2026, at Houston, TX’s White Oak Music Hall and then traveling North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom through early November. Ticket pre-sales begin November 5 and 6. General on-sale begins Friday, November 7 at 10 AM (Local). Additional dates will be announced.

Cat Power’s seventh studio album, The Greatest proved an immediate landmark in her already acclaimed career upon its January 2006 release. Recorded at Memphis, TN’s famed Ardent Studios with backing from some of that city’s most renowned session musicians, the album marked the first Cat Power release to exclusively feature songs written by Marshall, performed with understated Southern soulfulness and stunning creative confidence. The Greatest was met by worldwide critical applause while entering the Billboard 200 at #34 – Cat Power’s biggest commercial success to that date. Named by Rolling Stone at #6 on its “Top 50 Albums of 2006” as well #26 on its “100 Best Albums of the 2000s,” the collection was awarded with 2006’s prestigious Shortlist Music Prize, making history as the first album by a female artist to be accorded that honor. The album was also nominated for a Brit Award for Best International Female Vocal. The release was followed by a marathon world tour that saw Marshall backed by Dirty Delta Blues, an electrifying supergroup named after its members’ musical origins and later featured on 2008’s even more commercially successful Jukebox.
