Alone is the tenth studio album by English-American rock band The Pretenders. The album was released on 21 October 2016, by BMG Rights Management. [1] [2]
Chrissie Hynde is the only member of the band to appear on the album (which may explain the chosen album title), with the backing band consisting of session musicians; this was also the case with Packed! (1990), the first Pretenders album that used this method. The album is the band's second consecutive album not to include drummer Martin Chambers.
