Pretenders

The live recording of 'Talk Of The Town' featured in this video takes us back to a significant point in Chrissie Hynde's journey as a solo artist. Performing on December 6, 2014, she had recently completed a North American tour, the first time she hit the road alone, drawing from her extensive catalog with The Pretenders. Prior to this tour, the band released 'Break Up the Concrete' in 2008, showcasing a return to their roots with a blend of rock and pop sensibilities. It’s interesting to note how this solo act continues to echo the spirit of The Pretenders, allowing fans to experience not just nostalgia, but also Hynde’s evolution as an artist. There’s a certain energy in her live performance—an interplay of raw vocal power and seasoned musicianship—that truly reflects where she stands in her career, effortlessly bridging her past with the present.
