Chrissie Hynde
Christine Ellen “Chrissie” Hynde is an American musician famous for being a founding member and lead guitarist of the rock band ‘The Pretenders’. The band came to fame with the hits ‘Brass in Pocket’ and ‘My City Was Gone’, which became rock anthems in the 1970s and 1980s. Also a singer and songwriter, Hynde co-wrote ‘Brass in Pocket’ with band mate James Honeyman-Scott. The band’s singles like ‘Middle of the Road’, ‘Show Me’ and ‘I'll Stand by You’ were also big time hits. Inspired by hippie counter-culture, Hynde ruled the rock landscape as a leading woman from the late 1970s till the early 1990s. She uniquely merged different strains of music and guitar rock to create her own sound. She follows Vaishnavism, a branch of Hinduism, and is a vegetarian. She feels that becoming a vegetarian was the best thing that has ever happened to her. She published her autobiography ‘Reckless: My Life as a Pretender’ in 2015.

Albums of the Year 2021: Chrissie Hynde – Standing in the Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan

Amid the hideous unknowns, amid the existential crises in which we ineluctably still find ourselves, it is inevitable that we reach out to old friends. Bob Dylan turned 80 in May (my new edition of Bob Dylan: No Direction Home by Robert Shelton, the New York Times journalist who wrote that career-launching review, was one of several books marking the occasion) and while there was no new album from the old boy himself, Chrissie Hynde’s collection of Dylan songs has become a pleasing companion.
