Review: What a voice........:Chrissie Hynde has a gorgeous-smokey-sexy voice -- it's unique and she's so cool. What makes "Learning to Crawl" so special for me is the bonus tracks ... "My City was Gone" rocks hard (twice) because of the bonus live track. They're cover song of "Money" (... |
 | The Pretenders [Read More ...]
Review: Let's Hear It For The Girl!:The obvious dilemma facing any female who fronts an otherwise all-male group is that she can easily be classified as nothing more than eye candy either onstage or on the subsequent CD covers. Such is not the case with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders ... |
 | Pretenders II [Read More ...]
Review: The Return of the "original" Pretenders.:When Chrissie Hynde returned in 1981 (following the Pretenders' self-titled debut Pretenders), I believed this hard-rocking woman in her schoolgirl bangs, scary dark eyeliner, and tight jeans, when she told the world, "bad boys get spanked... |

 | The Singles [Read More ...]
Description: Ignoring the "Precious" side of Chrissie Hynde's rocking and writing, The Singles still captures a good bit of what was special about her in the '80s. Bopping assertions of strength ("Brass in Pocket"), wistful dreaminess ("Talk of the Town"), flat-out weepers ("2000 Miles"), her... |
