Cat Power plots spring trek for 'Jukebox'

Chan Marshall and her performing alter ego, Cat Power , will return to the road again in April for a two-week headlining push behind her current covers album, "Jukebox."

The singer, who heads Down Under in March for a brief Australian tour, will kick off the spring North American run April 10 in Vancouver. The 11-date itinerary covers the Pacific Northwest and Southwest, dipping way down south for the tour's closing April 23 show in Mexico City. The complete schedule is included below.

French/British electro-pop duo Appaloosa will open all of the April shows.

Like her previous covers effort, 2000's "The Covers Record," Marshall again tackled a mixed bag of big hits and obscure oldies for "Jukebox," which hit stores last month. The album's 12 tracks include renditions of Joni Mitchell's "Blue," Bob Dylan's "I Believe in You," and the canonical "Theme From New York, New York," popularized by both Liza Minnelli and Frank Sinatra, as well as a Marshall original, "Song to Bobby."

The album, which debuted at No. 12 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling about 29,000 copies in its first week, according to Neilsen SoundScan, is also available as a limited-edition silver foil set which includes a bonus disc with five additional songs.

"Jukebox" follows 2005's "The Greatest," which Marshall recorded in Memphis in 2005 with a group of veteran R&B session players. The disc earned the singer the 2007 Shortlist Prize, given annually by a panel of music industry figures and journalists to the best album released in the US each year.
