SPIN MAGAZINE:

“For Redux, Marshall convened Dirty Delta Blues—her heavy-hitting backing band—to record the EP at Church House Studios in Austin, Texas. Featuring 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) and recorded by Stuart Sikes, the EP serves as a brief appetizer for the tour which kicks off in Houston on February 12. It is also a reason to pull out your copy of The Greatest.

Redux begins with a cover of James Brown’s “Try Me.” Abandoned during the original sessions for The Greatest, this new version may lack the fire of Brown’s original but lends itself well to Marshall’s soulful voice. The EP continues with a new version of “Could We,” a Marshall original first featured on The Greatest. Hewing closer to the rendition Marshall performed live when promoting The Greatest, this version feels more lived-in than the original, with the horns missing and Foreman’s keyboard featuring prominently.The EP closes with a cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Marshall said she recorded the song to honor Teenie Hodges, who played guitar on The Greatest and passed away in 2014. Though Marshall’s rendition doesn’t eclipse Sinéad O’Connor’s popular cover, this version isn’tt trying to reach the same transcendent heights. Instead, Marshall does what she has always done best—crafted inspired music that both soulful youngsters and their grandparents could dance to.” – Spin Magazine (January 25, 2026)

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”. The track was among those first recorded by the singer-songwriter otherwise known as Chan Marshall during the original sessions that produced The Greatest but never completed.

Redux 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.
