There’s still no word on when those new Cat Power songs we heard in February will arrive in studio form, but in the meantime, the latest recording with vocals from Chan Marshall just arrived: “Tonight You Belong to Me,” an old standard from the 1920s that was famously performed as a duet in The Jerk by Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters, not to mention Fiona Apple and Jon Brion, among others. For this take, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder invoked Navin Johnson‘s ukulele-backed take for a cut off his new solo album sparsely starring said Hawaiian acoustic instrument, aptly dubbed Ukulele Songs. Today, you can stream Vedder’s full LP, which also includes a guest spot by Glen Hansard, over at NPR. We singled out the Cat Power duet below:
