I came across this Chrissie Hynde album on iTunes and downloaded a couple songs. They're really good, and the story behind the album is so interesting, I think I might *need* the whole thing!
Hynde, in her 50s, was in London and met a 30something musician, they became romantically involved, but knew it wasn't for the long haul. So they went to Cuba, wrote song to/from/about each other, made an album and formed a band. It's called Fidelity after all the Fidel Castro pictures everywhere.
(Pretty funny video too--make sure to watch long enough for the gore! It's based on a vampire movie.) (Oh and, her voice is still beautiful!)
''The album is about the fact that there is no future in our relationship in terms of love and sex,'' Jones said by phone from California, where they have been hanging out while not playing club shows (which will include an Oct. 3 stop at Tangier). ''And the way we can be together is in a band making music. In a way, it's like we've done the next best thing and we're making it work through the music.''
''We really get along, and if things were different and we were the same age, we may have gotten married in Cuba and be having our first kid by now,'' Hynde said. ''But we can see that's not going to happen
because of the age gap. And we just write all these songs together and we love singing together and hanging out, and this is how we see our future now: We can be together by being bandmates. It's fantastic.''
''It's different because we have a story with each other, so we're kind of writing songs about us and writing songs about each other and we are each other's muse. And when you have a muse you have something to focus on and write about and nurture, and in the past . . . there's been collaborations but nothing like this. I've never done anything like this,'' she said. (ohio.com)
