  On December 10, 1996, Cat Power, the stage name of singer-songwriter Chan Marshall, was in the early stages of her career, having recently released her second album, "Myra Lee," in 1996. This period followed her debut album, "Dear Sir," and marked a significant time of growth for the artist as she began to establish her distinct sound characterized by raw emotionality and introspective lyrics. The live performance in Paris at Nulle Part Ailleurs showcases her early style, which often included minimal instrumentation and a focus on her haunting voice. Notably, during this time, Cat Power was also developing a reputation for her captivating yet sometimes unpredictable live performances, which would become a hallmark of her career. This particular recording captures a moment just before she would ascend to greater acclaim with her subsequent album, "Moon Pix," released in 1998, establishing her as a unique and influential figure in the indie music scene.
