Chan Marshall, the American singer-songwriter who records as Cat Power, wrote "Free" on her own and sings it on You Are Free, her sixth studio album, which Matador released in 2003. Adam Kasper recorded and mixed it.
The pair made the album on the fly. Marshall spent a year at it, longer than she had ever given a record, grabbing studio time whenever Kasper had a gap in his schedule, often ditching what they'd cut months earlier and writing something new on the spot. They came away with about 40 songs, and Kasper helped her decide which ones earned a place on the finished album.
