This Topic concerns Chan Marshall’s Cat Power Sings Dylan project, centered on faithful but interpretive recreations of Bob Dylan’s acoustic-electric concert at Manchester’s Free Trade Hall in 1966.

It includes the live album Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, associated touring performances, critical and biographical discussion directly tied to the project, and the persistent misattribution of the Manchester performance as the Royal Albert Hall concert. The subject encompasses Marshall’s interpretations of songs from Dylan’s 1966 repertoire, including “Like a Rolling Stone,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Ballad of a Thin Man,” “Just Like a Woman,” “She Belongs to Me,” “Tell Me, Momma,” “Desolation Row,” and “Visions of Johanna.” It is distinct from the broader history and legacy of Dylan’s own 1966 live performances.
