'Mystery Achievement', taken from the Pretenders' debut studio album released 45 years ago. -PretendersHQ | Pretenders

The studio album from The Pretenders, 'Learning To Crawl', turns 40 today! Rolling Stone wrote, "To say that Learning to Crawl reconfirms Hynde as the most forceful female presence in rock already demeans her achievement: The matter of gender aside, she is the most unaffectedly personal of contemporary singer/songwriters, and surely the most astringently intimate lyricist working within a real rock & roll context."

Throwback to this gorgeous acoustic take on Don’t Get Me Wrong — just Chrissie Hynde and James Walbourne, two guitars, and all heart. 🎸✨ Recorded back in 2009 in Spain, it’s one of those performances that reminds you how simple and stunning music can be when it’s stripped right back. You can watch the full session on Pretenders 977 Radio, including a lovely version of Love’s A Mystery.
