The music album features seven tracks with five songs and two instrumental versions. The lyrics for the tracks were written by Madhan Karky, Yugabharathi, Pa. Vijay and Hiphop Tamizha. The film's audio was launched on 24 September 2014, at The Leela Palace Hotel in Chennai.[4] The music album was distributed through physical and digital formats by the Eros Music label, marking their debut into Tamil music scene.[5] The album and score received positive response from critics, with praise directed on Anirudh for his work in the album.[6]

Before signing the film's project, Anirudh composed the theme music,[7][8] which was featured in the digital first look poster.[9][10] He later added that the album would feature two theme music versions.[11] In April 2014, two more songs (the third and fourth track) were produced[12][13] after which Anirudh confirmed that three of the songs were completed.[14] The fifth track is a romantic number and the production team were impressed with the tune composed by Anirudh.[15][16] In mid-May 2014, Dhanush was reported to write lyrics for one of the tracks, which was proved to be untrue.[17][18]

In late-May, Bollywood music director Vishal Dadlani sang a track for the film.[19][20] In June 2014, Vijay was reported to sing a "love kuththu" number.[21] In August 2014, Andrea Jeremiah and singer Adhi of Hiphop Tamizha had each recorded a song.[22] Hiphop Tamizha said that he had used classic Tamil words in the song.[23] By mid-August, Anirudh had stated that he had almost completed working on the album, with the track sung by Vijay also being ready and added that "the album is full of big surprises for fans".[24][25] A. R. Rahman's frequent collaborator-musician Keba Jeremiah played the guitar for one song which he labelled as "a soul stirring melody".[26][27] Lyricist Madhan Karky called one of the songs he wrote a "stylish folk number".[28]

In early September 2014, Vijay finished recording his song, titled "Selfie Pulla" and the team went to London to shoot its song sequence.[29] Sunidhi Chauhan also roped for singing the female vocals for the track.[30] A rough cut version of "Selfie Pulla" sung by Anirudh got leaked onto the internet before the music launch.[31] Anirudh confirmed on 14 September 2014 that K. J. Yesudas had recorded a song for the film.[32] Following the audio launch, Anirudh Ravichander started working on the film's background score on 9 October[33] and had finished the score within 7 days.[34][35]

The audio rights were purchased by Eros Music.[38][a] On 10 September 2014, Eros International (the co-producer and distributor) officially announced its foray into Tamil music scene,[41] with the audio release of Kaththi, thereby being their first direct Tamil film album to be purchased.[42] Soundarya Rajinikanth, creative head of Eros International in South branch had said that "With this move, we are looking forward to leveraging our strength in exclusively exploiting Tamil music content across all formats".[42][43] Initial reports that the album release would be held in mid-September 2014 at the Wembley Arena in London,[44] and that the lead pair would perform at the audio launch along with Anirudh proved to be untrue.[45]

On late-August 2014, it was confirmed that the audio launch will take place on 24 September 2014.[46][47] Soundarya Rajinikanth assured that the audio event will be held in a grand manner, and has been talked with high profile officials to provide proper security,[48][49] after reports being surfaced of a protest led by Tamil groups against the film and its investor Lyca Productions, whose chairman and producer Subaskaran Allirajah had business links with the President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa.[50][51] The audio was launched at The Leela Palace Hotel in Chennai, in the presence of numerous celebrities.[52] The event was hosted by Ma Ka Pa Anand along with Priyanka Deshpande,[53] whilst composer Anirudh, Hiphop Tamizhan Adhi and other musicians were also part of stage performances.[54][52]

The track list was released on 21 September 2014 by Eros Music through their official Twitter account.[55][56] The full album was released through iTunes digitally on 23 September 2014,[57][58] and in all streaming platforms the following day.[59] The physical CDs of the album were made available in stores on 25 September.[59] The song "Paalam" was deleted from the film, but was reportedly included in overseas versions of the film.[60]

The original background score of Kaththi was released by Anirudh Ravichander, in a jukebox format through his official YouTube channel on 28 January 2015, to coincide with the film's 100th day celebration as well.[69] It features six original scores, composed by Anirudh. The OST album was released in all digital platforms on 1 February 2015.[69]

Celebrities such as Silambarasan and Dhanush called the album as "rocking".[70][71] Actress Trisha too appreciated Anirudh's work in the film score and soundtrack.[72] Srivatsan S. of The Hindu chose Kaththi as "one of the best films having 'mass' in the last decade" and said that the background score "goes beyond the detail of enhancing a scene" and "it adds character detail".[73]

McDonald was born in Anacortes, Washington, on September 25, 1948.[2] McDonald began singing at an early age. The first song she fully learned was "Goodnight Irene" by Huddie Leadbetter and at age two she would sing all five verses from her crib. McDonald performed professionally for the first time around Seattle when she was 12 years old.

McDonald was 17 years old when "Babe, It's Me" peaked at #1 on Bellingham's Top 40 radio station KPUG in early April 1966. The song remained at the top of the chart for four to five weeks.[6] The single, released on the Panorama label, was the first release by The Unusuals (formerly The Bellingham Accents) and it featured vocals by McDonald and Laurie Vitt who wrote the song and was a founding member of the band. Shortly thereafter, with McDonald as soloist, the Unusuals released their second single "Summer is Over" and, while it received airplay on local radio, it was a lesser hit in the Pacific Northwest. Kathi & The Unusuals toured with Dewey Martin (pseudonym Sir Raleigh and previously Sir Raleigh and the Cupons).

While living in Seattle, McDonald developed strong San Francisco music connections and promoter Chet Helms invited her to audition for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966. He also invited a then-unknown Janis Joplin from Austin, Texas. Joplin arrived in San Francisco before McDonald and was hired to front the band.[7] McDonald held some resentment for losing the job to Joplin, who people often compared her voice to, she stated:

"I used to hate doing Janis songs...It really was annoying for a lot of years, but I finally made my peace with it. I read some books about her and I realized what a pathetic life she had, with all kinds of screwups. It was terrible. The poor thing. Anything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. I thought it was just one big freakin' party, but it wasn't. She had a lot of heartbreak."[7]

McDonald relocated to San Francisco at the age of 19. At an Ike & Tina Turner concert at promoter Bill Graham's Carousel Ballroom (Fillmore West) in San Francisco, McDonald caught the attention of bandleader Ike Turner when she was singing along to "River Deep, Mountain High". She was pregnant at the time and he invited her to record as an Ikette in the studio.[7] As an Ikette, she sang on their album Come Together (1970).[8] She then recorded with Big Brother and the Holding Company after Joplin split with the band.[7]

Around this time, McDonald became one of Leon Russell's Shelter People.[7] She sang on Russell's album Leon Russell And The Shelter People (1971).[9] McDonald also contributed backing vocals to four tracks that appear on The Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street (1972), including the hit single "Tumbling Dice".[2] During this period, she sang with various artists, including Freddie King, Joe Cocker, Rita Coolidge, and Delaney & Bonnie.[5]

In 1973, she recorded her debut solo album, Insane Asylum, for Capitol Records. The album was co-produced by David Briggs and Pete Sears. Sears was also her musical arranger and played keyboards and bass, as well as writing several of the album's songs with McDonald. The album featured musicians such as Nils Lofgren, John Cipollina and Neal Schon on guitar, Aynsley Dunbar on drums, Boots Hughston on horns. McDonald sang a cover of Willie Dixon's "Insane Asylum" with Sly Stone.[10] The album was released in 1974 and reached #156 on the Billboard 200.[11] Rufus was McDonald's opening act when she performed at The Whisky in May 1974.[12]

In 1976, McDonald met blues singer Long John Baldry and they collaborated until his death in 2005.[13] She toured with him and they enjoyed success in Australia where their duet "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" reached #2 in 1980.[2]

Twenty years after her debut, she released her sophomore album, Save Your Breath, in 1994. McDonald reunited with Big Brother and the Holding Company in California for a concert on New Year's Eve, 1997.[9] Her next album, Above and Beyond, was released in 1999. It featured Lee Oskar on harmonica and Brian Auger on keyboards.

McDonald eventually fronted her own band and continued to perform regionally. In February 2009, she performed at the opening gala for the San Francisco Museum of Performance & Design along with Sam Andrew, welcoming in a new exhibition dedicated to the art and music of San Francisco of the 1965-1975 era.

The three recordings, featuring Kathi's singing, are from 1965 to 1966. At that time, she was the female vocalist for The Unusuals, a regionally popular Pacific Northwest band. Personal recordings and photos at this site were provided by, and the channel was approved by, Laurie Vitt, songwriter, band member affiliated with Kathi McDonald in her formative years, and a founding member of The Unusuals. Included in this collection is the #1 regional hit "Babe, It's Me" (vocals by McDonald and Vitt) and "Summer is Over" (Kathi lead vocalist).
