Cat Power

For far longer than we care to remember, the Chan Marshall live experience was a byword for barely contained chaos, a freak show of sorts that brought out the vultures in her audience. On record, at least, she remained consistently great, but onstage, beset by a multitude of personal demons—stage fright, mental-health issues, drug and alcohol abuse among them—she became a poster child for wayward erraticism, a car crash waiting to happen. Which, frankly, sucked big time. Happily for her, and us, she seems firmly back on track, with a punchy, vibrant new LP, Sun, which bristles with intent. It’s easily her best album in years, radiating positivity, purpose and a break from the past. She was, and is, a singular talent, and it’s a real kick just to see her back on top again. -Neil Ferguson
