Rock icon Chrissie Hynde excavates Bob Dylan's hidden treasures, her intimate vocals revealing their core.
Joined by Pretenders guitarist James Walbourne, she strips Dylan's compositions to piano, mandolin, and acoustic guitar, unveiling a softer musicality.
Tailoring each song to fit her distinctive voice, "Blind Willie McTell" and "Every Grain of Sand" gain profound depth; "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" and "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" are tenderly transformed; "Sweetheart Like You" and a Stones-like "You're a Big Girl Now" display her vocal mastery.
Directed by Michael Nunn, this Dylan-authorized film details Hynde's process: how she refines melody and lyrics to unlock new emotional depths. Not mere tribute, this is artistic dialogue—a resonant testament to Chrissie Hynde's enduring vision.
