Chrissie Hynde is one of the best American songwriters ever, in my opinion I should say. Needless to say, I was excited to see her last night in Annapolis Md. at the Ramshead with her new project. To be fair, it’s not “her project”, it’s a bonafide collaboration with Welsh singer songwriter JP Jones, hence the name: JP, Chrissie and the Fairground Boys. The songs from the debut album tell the story of how they met, how they fell in love, and the trials and tribulations of a romance when two people are about 20 years apart in age. If you’re a fan of the more “Americana”Pretenders songs like “Kid”, I think you’ll find this new collaboration worthy of exploration.
