  In October 2017, during the recording of "Austin City Limits," The Pretenders were promoting their most recent album, "Alone," which was released in January 2016. This marked a significant period in the band's career as it was their first album in nearly a decade, featuring new material primarily written by lead vocalist Chrissie Hynde and produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. The setlist for the Austin performance would likely have included tracks from "Alone," showcasing the band's enduring relevance and adaptability in the rock landscape. Interesting to note, this appearance reaffirmed the band's legacy, not only as pioneers of the new wave scene but also as a band maintaining their creative output into the 21st century, highlighting Hynde's powerful voice and the band's signature sound amidst evolving musical trends. The show captured both nostalgia and a fresh take on their extensive catalog.
