The new record had been tentatively entitled Chrissie Hynde Practices Her Autograph. Then it dawned that those driving guitars, ragged-but-righteous arrangements, the tough yet tender lyrics delivered by the most distinctive voice of a generation sounded fantastically familiar. Ultimately, this could only mean one thing:The Pretenders were back. And this wasn’t a cynical brand reboot, more a happy accident. Hynde shrugs, “These things happen. It’s just a name.” Having effectively reformed her groundbreaking band, Hynde decided to rechristen the record. With characteristic perversity, she called it Alone. Thirty-six years after The Pretenders’ first album, Alone could be the older, wiser, badder sister to that exhilarating debut. “It’s a riot,” said Chrissie Hynde. “I am blown away myself. I really am. Every time I hear it, it just makes me laugh. To me if you are laughing, it is rock and roll. I don’t know how we achieved it but it sounds classic. I guess the team just went out and scored some goals.”The team, approvingly described by Hynde as “real people playing real instruments,” features Johnny Cash’s former bass player Dave Roe and country rocker Kenny Vaughan on guitar plus sundry members of Dan Auerbach’s side project The Arcs: Richard Swift on drums, Leon Michels on keyboards and Russ Pahl providing sly curlicues of pedal steel. All the while, Auerbach stood as captain, producer, multi-instrumentalist – he unleashes some outlandish electric guitar - and all around a cool head. ## Images ![Alone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7103yIZJzWS.jpg) ![Alone - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nprrWV1TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Stupidity at it's finest. Cracking LP otherwise - very bassy in bits ... *by C***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 October 2016* Stupidly this vinyl version doesn't come with the single Holy Commotion despite it being on the CD, you do get it with the download though as if that's some sort of consolation. Stupidity at it's finest.Cracking LP otherwise - very bassy in bits but Hyndes voice hasn't changed. Classic Pretenders. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Chrissie at her best *by B***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 November 2016* Chrissie at her best. Probably the most ethereal album she has made. I don't think it is the greatest production I have heard, a little over power in the lower frequencies (I wonder if the engineer has mastered it for MP3/Smart Phones) but the music does work it's way through. Plus Chrissie's voice is nicely forward in the mix.You wouldn't think she started of as a Punk Diva. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Rock 'n' roll *by M***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 March 2017* I really like Chrissie Hynde's voice and The Pretenders music generally. Also this is quality, it lacks some immediacy of older tunes - but hopefully when they tour later this year, it will bring the album to life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60893827-alone](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60893827-alone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
