Sep 11, 2019The vibe is appealing and so is Hynde's performance. Unhurried and nuanced, she eases herself into songs she clearly loves, and that sense of warmth lingers long after the album's last notes fade away.
-
Sep 5, 2019Valve Bone Woe is a lovingly crafted collection of covers – a surprising, successful new endeavour by an artist evidently still keen to challenge herself.
-
Classic Rock MagazineSep 3, 2019Overall this album is Hynde's most adventurous experiment to date, opening new autumnal terrain for one of rock's greatest voices. [Sep 2019, p.85]
-
Sep 6, 2019Less an indicator of impending irrelevance than a reminder of the thrills Hynde is still capable of producing.
-
UncutSep 3, 2019Hynde's default here is swoon and ache. Add her incendiary guitar to Mingus instrumental "Meditation (On A Pair Of Wirecutters)" plus a lovely dubbed-out, spacy "Caroline No" and her one-of-a-kind signature is writ large. [Oct 2019, p.29]
-
Nov 1, 2019With its orchestral ambitions, imaginative song selection, and sometimes unexpected sonic architecture, Valve Bone Woe is a supremely odd journey as well. If you trust in Chrissie Hynde's voice, it will guide you through the twists and turns along the way. Valve Bone Woe is worth the trip.
-
MojoSep 3, 2019It's pleasant but ultimately inessential stuff. Way better are the tunes where the tape echo effects kick in. [Oct 2019, p.82]
