Atlanta singer-songwriter Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, heated up our Sessions studio with a sultry, barefooted performance. Wearing a partially unbuttoned shirt with a loosened tie, the smoky-voiced singer grooved to a bluesy batch of covers off her latest album, 'Jukebox.'

"When I'm writing songs, all those memories of growing up and life are in my original material," she tells Spinner. "But when I'm doing the covers, I still have all these other flooding memories of growing up, too. So my heart and soul are in equal parts in different ways."

"Interpretively, different songs take on different meanings to me once I'm singing them live with an audience," she continues. "It's like the songs are teaching themselves to me. That's what I love about interpretation of song."
