Chrissie Hynde No Longer Pretending

(Gibson) For as long as most music fans can remember, Chrissie Hynde has been synonymous with The Pretenders. The only consistent member of the band (although drummer Martin Chambers has been in the group for most of its run), Hynde recently told Billboard.com that she's unconcerned with her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band right now."I have no interest in working on anything else now but this," she said, referring to her new band, called JP, Chrissie & the Fairground Boys. The group was founded on a creative partnership between Hyde and Welsh musician JP Jones, who met at a party in 2008. The band released their debut album, Fidelity!, earlier this year. "We certainly have enough songs for another album and who knows what else in the future," she said, "but my main ambition is to take the boys and JP into a studio and record an album of his songs, 'cause he's got the most amazing songs and he's very prolific."
