Double post today! I was fortunate to get to see 2 legendary bands last Tuesday, The Pretenders and Guns N’ Roses. I left the show so inspired, I grabbed my bass as soon as I got home even though it was 2am. I was determined to cover one song from each band.
For the opener, I covered the song “Kid” by Pretenders. This song comes from their self titled debut album. If you’ve never listened to the bass on this record, give it a spin. I’ve threatened to cover the entire album after doing “The Wait” last fall. The bass was originally played by the late Pete Farndon. Nick Wilkenson is the current bassist. He did a great job, rocking a sun burst P-Bass and a badass leather vest. 
The subject and way Chrissie delivers the vocals is hauntingly beautiful. Some things to listen for – The cool way Farndon’s bassline switches from walking bass to chugging and the sneaky key change after the bridge.
