Songsmith Chrissie Hynde and the Ladies’ Tea Party
The song "Brass in Pocket", which came out in November 79 changed everything for The Pretenders. A joint composition by Chrissie Hynde and guitarist James Honeyman Scott, it was so successful that it actually altered people's perceptions of the group's name : they were still Pretenders, but no longer pretending as in unending make believe; they were now pretenders as in contenders for the crown. Hope you like this latest piece in the Songsmiths series.
