Ever since 1978, Chrissie Hynde has been the founder and sole permanent member of the Pretenders, one of the all-time great rock bands. The Pretenders are coming up on the 50-year mark, and they’re still making records; their Relentless LP came out in 2023. Hynde, an always-outspoken presence, also releases occasional solo records; her last was the 2021 Bob Dylan tribute album Standing In The Doorway. Today, Hynde announces a new album of duets, called Duets Special and credited to Chrissie Hyde & Pals. She has some impressive pals.
