The Pretenders: Boots of Chinese Plastic (Live on Letterman) (Video)

11:24 a.m. · October 8, 2008 · by Andrew Winistorfer

The Pretenders’ new album, Break Up the Concrete, came out yesterday, and it's supposed to be a late-period return-to-form for Chrissie Hynde and company. I can't verify that since I haven’t heard anything other than the mid-‘60s, Dylan-sounding lead single, “Boots of Chinese Plastic,” which the band performed on Letterman on Monday night. This new version of The Pretenders (the line-up changes for every album) is pretty tight—they rip through the track at full bore with maximum impact. [My Old Kentucky Blog]
