It helps that I'm including Chrissie Hynde "solo" songs. But in fact, by this time, there really is no difference between "the Pretenders" and Hynde's solo work, since the Pretenders had become pretty much Hynde plus a bunch of back-up musicians.
The last album in this series was made up nearly entirely of covers of well known songs. There are a lot of such songs this time around too (such as songs 2 through 6, and 9). But there are more songs that are either originals or at least more obscure covers. (To be honest, I'm not sure who wrote some of these; if anyone knows, please let me know and I'll add that info in.)
All but one of the songs were officially released, usually on movie soundtracks, various artists compilations, or bonus tracks. The one unreleased song, "Creep," comes from a TV show performance, so the sound quality is as good as the rest.

The cover photo of Hynde comes from 1995. It was in black and white and I had plenty of other options in color. But I really liked this one, so I colorized it and used it.
Thanks! Good work!

"Angel of the Morning" was written by Chip Taylor, first recorded by Evie Sands, and made famous by Merilee Rush.
ReplyDelete"Everyday Is Like Sunday" is originally by Morrissey; he co-wrote it with Stephen Street.
"Creep" of course is by Radiohead. (Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood are credited as additional co-writers because parts of "Creep" were found to resemble their classic song "The Air That I Breathe".)
"Live And Let Die" was of course Paul McCartney (recorded with Wings; Linda gets co-writing credit).
"Goin' Back" was written by Goffin and King for the Byrds.
"Baby It's You" and "Message To Michael" are both Burt Bacharach songs; the former co-written with Luther Dixon and Mack David and first recorded by the Shirelles; the latter written with Mack's brother Hal David and first recorded by Jerry Butler but made famous by Dionne Warwick.
That's all I got.
Thanks for those, but I'm more curious about the other ones. ;)
