--- - |- It's been six years since the last Pretenders album, and Chrissie Hynde returns with a new one Sept. 23 called Break Up The Concrete. Fans don't have to wait until then, as the band is offering free MP3 downloads beginning yesterday at various sites, one song per week. First up this week is 'Boots of Chinese [...] ~~- The Pretenders

Interviews can be pretty predictable and boring, right? Inspired by the fact the music press was at its best when people like Chrissie Hynde were writing for the NME and more recently Andrew Bird's regular column for the New York Times, we asked literate troubadour and DiS board regular Jeremy Warmsley to begin the first of a series of pieces by artists for DiS...

Here's yet another of the tracks they have released to bloggers and fans. More of a mellow Poco or Eagles type tune in the traditional Pretenders vocal style. Nice combo.

I'm being completely seduced by the new Pretenders album. With one track being given away each week, there's time to really get inside each one before the next one drops. It helps that it's a great album.Chrissie's voice is intimate and confessional. She can belt a rocker when she wants, but the two really brilliant songs for me are the one up above and another called "The Maker Of Nothing", w...

The Pretenders are giving away their new album one track per week. It's worth getting. Chrissie Hynde has never sung in a way to strain her voice and it's still in excellent condition. The band behind her play with vim, verve and velocity. Most important, her songwriting is in top form.Back in 1976, the anecdote about Chrissie was that she lived on £10 a week in an empty room with a matress and..

But the video that I waited to see over and over again was the one for "Tattooed Love Boys." Seeing Chrissie al...

Here's this week's cut. This one is quite different than what we've heard so far. I wouldn't call it Country at all, but it has it's own charm. See what you think.

O.K. folks, here's this week's new track. This is a laid back alt-country sound.

First CD in 6 years being released in October and it's being called a more country flavored project. This one is kind of cow punk rather than country. I think it's killer. Have a listen and voice your opinion.

I idolize this woman - she's so punk rock it HURTS !!!You may have seen it before - but this one bears repeating...Some boys with ink - YES...h1. Tattooed Love Boys !!!!

Seem that The Pretenders are exploring all forms of country and country rock on this new CD. This one is a fast paced barn-burner.

Another song that reflects my mood, I heart Chrissie Hynde Monday. My favorite part of Back on the Chain Gang has to be that eternal bass line during the lyrics:"The powers that beThat force us to live like we doBring me to my kneesWhen I see what theyve done to youBut Ill die as I stand here todayKnowing that deep in my heartTheyll fall to ruin one dayFor making us part"It sounds like a heart ...

REACH FOR THE SKY, NOBODY MOVE!...Hey Mog, just wanted to get your attention for a second...This here post started out as a comment on Blair's "*I love you MOG but..."* post and wanted to go a step further than polite space-usage allowed (read: didn't want to thread-jack on his spot) as I really appreciated the thrust of what people were voicing, the dialogue...I thought I'd finish it on my own...

Following John Ingham's lead, here is another new track from their forthcoming CD. This time, they are coming from a country direction. We moggers need to post these as they release them for blogging and mogging, right? I'll post a few more that have been released so far.
