SO-CALLED SINGERS Chrissie Hynde sings lead on Break Up the Concrete
Credits
Release Date: Oct 07, 2008; Lead Performance: Pretenders; Genre: Rock

Pretenders frontlady Chrissie Hynde is the
only original band member on
Break Up the Concrete, which features
a backing group composed of well-traveled session guys such as drummer Jim Keltner.
Fortunately, with her velvet-sandpaper
vocals and unflappable rock-chick cool, Hynde is more than enough to build an album around. On scrappy rockabilly jams like ''Boots of
Chinese Plastic,'' she cuts loose with an effortlessness it takes years to cultivate, while the disc's lovely closer, ''One Thing
Never Changed,'' suggests she's got a future as a weehours balladeer if she wants it. B
