While the pandemic project began as a lark after Walbourne sent Hynde Dylan’s 18-minute epic “Murder Most Foul” and she suddenly felt inspired, it eventually expanded to become a full LP, along with the Tomorrow Is a Long Time film – which, we can assure Hynde, is well worth watching. Hynde certainly was busy during lockdown, remotely recording the covers album Standing in the Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan with her Pretenders bandmate James Walbourne. “I don't want to be self-conscious, and I don't want to think about it,” she explains in her shrugging, typically no-nonsense manner. Since the start of her career, Hynde has in fact made it an habit to never read her own press or watch her own footage.

But ironically, Hynde doesn’t even remember making that remark, because she admits that she hasn’t actually watched the documentary herself.

So, it’s an honor - and just a little intimidating - when she agrees to get on the phone with Yahoo Entertainment to promote the film, which makes its U.S. In her new documentary, Tomorrow Is a Long Time: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan, the Pretenders icon and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer flatly states that she really doesn’t like doing interviews.
