And up next, actor Russell Crowe and later the pretenders Chrissy Hines in concert.
You [A#m] won't believe what these two [D#] have in common [C#] back in a moment.
This is Today on [B] NBC.
[C#]
[F#] [C#] Good morning.
By the way, just before we get to the movie, it was really nice to be able to give you and Chrissy Hines a little time to get back together
because you guys did a song together, right, in 2003?
Yeah, [C#] 2002.
Okay, cool.
We recorded in a hotel room in Mexico while I was on the set of Monster in Command.
[Bm] So very cool.
All right, well, let's talk about Toyota
[E] concert series on today.
Choose any direction as long as it's moving forward.
Toyota moving forward.
[Bm]
[A] Back in the late 70s, singer [Em]-songwriter Chrissy Hines formed a rock band called the Pretenders.
[Bm] Now the group, which launched [Em] hits like Don't Get Me Wrong and Back on the Chain Gang, is back with a new album, Break Up the Concrete, which hits stores today.
Chrissy Hines, good morning to you.
Good morning.
Pleasure to see [B] you. Last album.
No, I'm not taking your pick from you yet.
Six years ago, you released your last album.
A reporter said about you, Chrissy only puts out albums when she has something worthy to say.
It's a nice way of putting it.
So what has [D#] brought you back?
Well, I had something worthy to say.
And what is it?
Well, [Dm] you know, we just want to get on the road and [D#] play.
Just talking about really American [Em] cities.
It's a much more American themed album this time around.
And we could use a little of that.
Absolutely.
Yeah, the scene is positive and it's good fun and it's kind of a little bit rockabilly-ish.
And what are you going to perform for us this morning?
A song called Love's a Mystery.
Terrific.
Take it away.
Okay.
Did you want that?
Sure, I'll take that.
