Chrissie Hynde & The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble - Valve Bone Woe

180-gram gatefold double LP

Pretenders singer Hynde explores standards, jazz on new covers album

Chrissie Hynde has anounced a new album of covers coming in September 2019 with the Valve Bone Woe Ensemble. It's called Valve Bone Woe and sees Hynde interpret songs by Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, Nick Drake, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Charlie Mingus and others.

In what she's calling a "jazz/dub" album, it was recorded at London's AIR studios and produced by Marius de Vries and Eldad Guetta. Hynde revealed "I'm not hugely interested in branching out into other musical genres, being a devout rock singer as such, but jazz is something I grew up around"

"Jazz got sidelined by rock & roll in the ‘60s, but now the demise of rock seems to be heralding in a newfound interest in it, the most creative and innovative musical forms of the 20th century. I'm happy to jump on the bandwagon."

Worthy of my vinyl collection! posted on 09/02/2020 5 Stars Reviewer: SS Always glad to have Chrissie Hynde in my vinyl collection. Good vinyl great sonics and as always great vocal from Ms. Hynde.

Great voice for this music posted on 08/01/2020 5 Stars Reviewer: DD I read a review a while back, but passed it by. I'm glad I gave it a chance. She does a great job, and the band is solid. My pressing is quiet, and it sounds good. They dabble with effects and synth, but it seems right and fun. "Caroline, no" is a bit much for me when it comes to the effects, but you judge. She has a better voice for this music than some jazz artists.
