Free Music Notes for Pretenders
Free Music Review: Ohio Telecaster Queen and her Mates
Hit: 5 Stars
28 years after it's debut, I still shake my head in wonderment when I listen to this monumental debut. The only thing different is that I now listen to it on compact disc instead of vinyl.
And when I hear the UK national anthem, I will always remember the Pretenders show I was lucky enough to see in 1980 (at Golden Hall in downtown San Diego)with Bow-Wow-Wow opening for them. They always played the UK anthem standing facing the Union Jack before they played a single note at all of their live performances. James Honeyman Scott instantly won me over as the new king of the Stratocaster. Hynde, looked so damned sexy in tight black leather pants with that butterscotch Tele slung over her shoulder, her voice defining an attitude never equaled by any female singer of the rock genre since. (Levigne and Phair only Chrissie wannabe's). Farndon and Chambers power playing couldn't be touched by any other rhythm section- just listen.
This should be on everyone's desert island disc list. I'm afraid it's just that good.
Pretenders Poster
This nearly perfect debut album showcases both the extraordinary songs of Ohio-born singer Chrissie Hynde and the rhythmically complex performances of her U.K.-bred band, Pretenders. The band tramples through the sexual aggression of "Precious," "Up the Neck" and "Tattooed Love Boys"; the classic pop of "Kid" and "Brass in Pocket"; and a brilliant cover of the Kinks's "Stop Your Sobbing." Hynde's sneering vocals add resonance to these tales of sexual revenge, abuse, and longing appropriately fleshed out with blood, guts, and guitar. --Rob O'ConnorAlternative Rock Music CDs
