The legendary soloist of The Pretenders, Chrissy Hynd, shared the news, which caused mixed feelings among fans. There will be no new album from her band this year, but a duet project is being prepared instead. The album, titled "Duets Special," will feature stars like K.D. lang, Dave Gahan, Debbie Harry, Cat Power, Shirley Manson, Brandon Flowers, Dan Auerbuck and even the late Mark Lanegan. The idea of recording such a project came about during a conversation with Yorn, husband of Rufus Wainwright. Together they chose the song "Always on My Mind", which will be the lead single of 13 duets scheduled for release on October 17. Despite the seeming surprise of the project, Chrissy Hynd stressed that she has great "old buddies" with whom she was pleased to work.
