The debut solo album for Chrissie Hynde will include guest appearances from Neil Young and John McEnroe.
Chrissie recorded the album in Stockholm, Sweden with co-writer, guitarist and producer Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn and John fame.
“I wanted to make a power pop album you could dance to – Abba meets John Lennon”, Chrissie said of the album. “I think life is serious, and you should take it seriously, but in rock n roll either have a laugh or don’t come to the party…so much of rock n roll has become what I would call Glory Rock, with family values. It’s the irreverence in rock that was always the turn on”.
