Description
Chrissie Hynde's Reckless is a candid and humorous account of her journey from a tumultuous adolescence to forming one of the most iconic bands of the punk era. Born in Akron, Ohio, Hynde recounts how she escaped her idyllic childhood to immerse herself in the vibrant music scene of Cleveland, eventually seizing the opportunity to form the Pretenders. As she navigates the highs and lows of her early years, from the Kent State University riots to the embryonic punk scene in London, Hynde shares stories of her encounters with influential figures like Iggy Pop, Vivienne Westwood, and Ray Davies. With brutal honesty and wry humour, she recounts the twists and turns that led to stardom and ultimately, tragedy. A deeply personal and entertaining memoir, Reckless is a testament to Hynde's resilience and determination. This remarkable story has been hailed as one of the most evocative music memoirs in recent years, offering a unique glimpse into the life of a true rock legend.
