The Singles
Ignoring the "Precious" side of Chrissie Hynde's rocking and writing,The Singlesstill captures a good bit of what was special about her in the '80s. Bopping assertions of strength ("Brass in Pocket"), wistful dreaminess ("Talk of the Town"), flat-out weepers ("2000 Miles"), her tough-mom attitude ("Middle of the Road")--the many sides of her seven-inches are generously surveyed herein.--Rickey Wright
