Singer-songwriter and Georgia native Cat Power has won the Shortlist Music Prize. She's the first woman to win the honor. The prize recognizes music acts who have made standout albums, but have not achieved mainstream status.
A group of nine journalists and fellow musicians vote on the prize. Other finalists for this year's award included Tom Waits and Regina Spektor.
Power, whose real name is Chan (Shon) Marshall, started her career in Atlanta in the early 90's--then moving to New York.
