6/10/2021: The Great Pretender: The Music of Chrissie Hynde

On May 21st, Chrissie Hynde and Pretenders guitarist James Walbourne released STANDING IN THE DOORWAY: CHRISSIE HYNDE SINGS BOB DYLAN, an album that they recorded remotely last year during the pandemic. This episode of HARD RAIN & SLOW TRAINS: BOB DYLAN & FELLOW TRAVELERS celebrates the release of this album of Dylan covers by celebrating the music and story of fellow traveler Chrissie Hynde, whose 42-year career is remarkably consistent and a testament to her talent, vision, and moral center. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan and in "Who Did It Better?" we reveal to you the results of our first ever "Who Did It Better?" tournament featuring the traditional song "Moonshiner," and we ask you to vote this week to tell us who did "You're a Big Girl Now" better: Emma Swift or Chrissie Hynde, both of whom first released their versions last year.
