Chan Marshall regularly slips bits of other tunes into her own work — turning the chorus of Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" into a wry lyric on "Good Clean Fun" or embedding the refrain of "Amazing Grace" in "Metal Heart." So it's fitting that she takes time out to record covers, of which Jukebox is her second collection. Retaining the smooth Memphis sound that propelled The Greatest to acclaim, Marshall moves from Hank Williams to James Brown to CCR, assembling a set less remarkable for its selections than for her newfound easy delivery. We're crossing our fingers that Marshall steps into her new (more settled) greatness for tonight's gig, leaving those famously unstable live performances behind.
