While “Stockholm,” recorded and produced with Swedish musicians Bjorn Yttling and Joakim Ahlund, was mostly filled with polite grooves and lightly rocking guitars, “Alone” is a louder, looser collection and a full-on Auerbach production, recorded at his Easy Eye Studios in Nashville. The Firestone High School hall of famers, who once bonded at a music festival over the old O’Neil’s Department Store jingle, have joined forces for “Alone,” a rollicking collection of tunes that meshes the hallmarks of both artists. Originally intended to be the follow-up to the solid “Stockholm,” it became a Pretenders album during the recording process. In the past two years, the lead singer and leader of (whoever she decides are currently) the Pretenders released her first solo album, “Stockholm,” and her memoir, “Reckless: My Life as a Pretender,” which stirred some controversy over her comments about her rape. Now, eight years after rustic rock of “Break Up the Concrete,” Hynde revives the Pretenders with assistance from Black Keys singer/guitarist and fellow Akronite Dan Auerbach. Chrissie Hynde has been quite active recently.
