In addition to the cover of Bob Dylan's " Forever Young" that was previously recorded for the film With Honors and later used in end credits to Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, the album also featured several songs Hynde co-wrote with the songwriting team of Billy Steinberg and Kelly, who wrote several hits for other musicians. The album marked the official return of Chambers, who had been fired by Hynde eight years prior. A few other session musicians also appear, including Ian Stanley (formerly of Tears for Fears), and one-time Pretenders guitarist Robbie McIntosh, who plays alongside Hynde and Seymour on "I'm a Mother". These musicians include Hobson and Chambers, as well as bassists Andy Rourke, Tom Kelly and David Paton, and drummers Jimmy Copley and J.F.T.

However, this line-up only plays together on one track ("All My Dreams") the rest of the album is performed by Hynde and Seymour in conjunction with a rotating series of musicians on bass and drums. For this album, the band is officially credited as being Chrissie Hynde (vocals, guitar), Adam Seymour (guitar), Andy Hobson (bass) and Martin Chambers (drums).

Last of the Independents is the sixth studio album by rock group The Pretenders, released in 1994. From the opening drum beat of Hollywood Perfume to the closing chimes of Forever Young youll be hooked, with tears in your eyes or a jump in your step this you wont let this one go for a while, if ever.Released: April 1994 (UK), July 1994 (US) From the words "Nothing you confess could make me love you less" too "You say your protection is proof of your affection, If I need security Ill keep a gun on me", it is obvious that Hynde knows what it is to make brilliant music and inspire anyone who listens to her. Ill stand By you is as tender and emotional as they come but its followed by the punkish in your face "Im a mother". Honestly it is Hyndes contradictory lyrics the female equivalent of Bob Dylan in my eyes and the bands modern, clean and powerful music that makes the album what it is.

Then comes the sexual beauty of Night in my veins followed by an anthem for hookers "Money talk". The album opens with the lyrically and musically perfect "Hollywood Perfume" which shows that The Pretenders can still rock with the best of them. Last of the independents is pure gold and as modern as anything, even today. Chrissie proved in 1980 she had it, and in 1994 she proved she hadnt lost it like the rest of em. The Cranberries released a great album with "No need to argue" and another of my favourites was Holes "live through this".but who could possibly go past this amazing album. 1994 was a great year for music, mainly for the relatively new to the scene.
