Eldad Guetta – Valve Bone Woe – Chrissie Hynde

Eldad Guetta produced Chrissie Hynde’s new album Valve Bone Woe alongside Marius De Vries. This record, which is a collection of jazzy covers of classic tracks, had its official release today and is already garnering raves from critics for their novel approach to a “standards” album. The Guardian praises the record’s success in “injecting unsettling strangeness into Beach Boys and Nick Drake tunes, and, miraculously making a Rodgers and Hammerstein composition sound rock ‘n’ roll.” American Songwriter dives into the excellence of the album’s production, stating that “The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble and producers Marius de Vries and Eldad Guettashould get equal credit for the overall idiosyncratic approach” for example, “the opening “How Glad I Am” kicks the proceedings off with smooth, swanky horns urging Hynde’s vocals into sounding as bluesy as she has ever been”.
