Good Woman

Eddie Vedder

“Good Woman” by Eddie Vedder // Originally by Cat Power (2012)

The original version of “Good Woman” by Cat Power (and featured on her stunning 2003 album, “You Are Free”) is a crushing, heartbreaking song about coming to terms with a poison relationship despite loving the other person. It’s Chan Marshall at her most powerful and poignant. The song features haunting backing vocals from Eddie Vedder (and drums from Dave Grohl), and now Vedder has gone and performed a stirring version on his own while on tour in Amsterdam last month. Surely this has made it’s way around the net, but I felt like highlighting it here as it’s a stellar version of one of my favorite songs of all time.
