Cat Power<\/b> and Iggy Pop<\/b> recently shared their cover of John Lennon<\/b>‘s “Working Class Hero.”<\/p>\n
The song is part of a new compilation album, titled The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull<\/i>, which was released on Friday.<\/p>\n
The In The Q Records and the Women of Rock Oral History Project album features 19 spirited selections from Marianne Faithfull<\/b>‘s songbook, to help raise funds for the English singer as she recovers from Long Covid. <\/p>\n
The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull<\/i> also features Tanya Donelly<\/b>, Lydia Lunch<\/b>, Bush Tetras<\/b>, Peaches<\/b>, and Shirley Manson<\/b>, among others.<\/p>\n
“Their interpretations of songs that I have recorded and performed over the course of my 60-plus year career is incredibly moving,” says Faithful.<\/p>\n
Chan Marshall<\/b>, better known by her stage name Cat Power, said, “Marianne has lived a life. She is a queen to all who know her, and all who adore her! Her framework of contributions to the world of music is unmistakable!” <\/p>\n
“Every time I hear her gorgeous vocal sway, I am moved, I am closer to permanence,” she added. “In a world of dizzying, new fizzling arrows of song and voices, Marianne has always struck the bullseye of my heart and soul. I adore her like no other. A true Dame, beyond words. Royalty forever.”<\/p>\n
