Summary
:
Born in 1951 in Akron, Ohio, Chrissie Hynde was, for nearly four decades the singer/songwriter/undisputed leader of the Pretenders. Few other rock stars have managed to combine her swagger, sexiness, stage presence, knack for putting words to music, gorgeous voice and just all-around kick-assedness into such a potent and alluring package. Her signature songs project a unique mixture of toughness and vulnerability that millions of men and women have related to. A kind of one- woman secret tunnel linking punk and new wave to classic guitar rock, she is one of the great luminaries in rock history. In this memoir Reckless, Chrissie Hynde tells, with fearless candor and sharp humor, exactly where she came from and what her crooked, winding path to stardom entailed.
