Pretenders
The Pretenders Live Performance of Hymn to Her at Toyota Center, Houston
In 2016, The Pretenders were on the road, sharing the stage with Stevie Nicks during their North American tour. This live recording, captured at the Toyota Center in Houston, showcases their enduring charm and rock prowess. By this time, the band had recently released 'Alone' in 2016, which marked a significant point in their career, featuring a more contemporary sound while retaining their classic edge. Notably, this album was their first studio effort in over a decade, and it was a celebration of both new material and the band's rich history. Interestingly, Chrissie Hynde's performance is full of raw emotion, reminding the audience of the band's deep roots in rock and their ability to resonate across generations. The collaboration with a powerhouse like Stevie Nicks highlights the mutual respect and shared history of women who've shaped rock music. It’s a moment that ties their past to the present in a beautifully cohesive way.
