Chrissie Hynde Plumbs the Difference Between Alone and Lonely By Geoffrey Himes Aug| 9:00am.Staunch admirers of the traditional Pretenders sound might not like this record, but I say, “Yee-haw!”

The title track makes creative use of the Bo Diddley beat and impresses with its percussive “thwack it, crack it” lyrics. “Almost Perfect” is minor-key sexy with a creaky sound like an old metal swing that makes the song seem like a precursor to haunting U.K. But the songs won’t be seamless additions to any Pretenders best-of album they have a twangier feel. Hynde’s voice is as recognizable as ever-all slow vibrato, unrestrained high notes and staccato alto. (Consider this lyric from “Love’s a Mystery”: “You get the feeling you’re onstage and badly unrehearsed.”) It’s true that the record is peppered with small flaws, like a cleared throat, or the drummer’s messed-up count-off or someone self-admonishing, “O.K., I’m gettin’ worse and worse now.” But these imperfections are endearing, adding extra texture to this set of rollicking roots rock and mournful pedal-steel ballads. The fact that this country-influenced album from Chrissie Hynde and her new backing band was recorded in just 10 days might lead you to think Break Up The Concrete was a rush job.
