With “The Isle of View,” Chrissie Hynde and her band join the scores of acts who are rediscovering the virtues of acoustic instruments. Recorded live in London with a string quartet backup, this disc’s 14 songs include provocative reworkings of his such as “Brass in Pocket” and more obscure items such as a cover of Ray Davies’ “I Go to Sleep.”
It’s Hynde’s most engaging work in years.
