 Pretenders - Relentless

I love Chrissy Hynde's singing, I really do. But since the first incredible album, and one could argue the first three, The Pretenders have been making albums one notch above and one notch below "good" ever since.

This is a "one notch above good" album.

 @48293a8f I give her all sorts of credit for staying power. Her voice still sounds amazing. She's out there touring. I gave the album a listen. I might try to listen a bit more. But my 1st reaction is it's really hard for these artists to stay at the initial level of creative intensity. I liked some of the tracks on "Break Up The Concrete" & also on "Alone". Again, major kudos to her for staying power. (We saw them with Stevie Nicks and they were fantastic.)
