In 2014, Björn Yttling co-wrote and co-produced Chrissie Hynde's debut solo album Stockholm. Now, the pair has teamed up again for a cover of the Doors' classic 1967 tune "People Are Strange."
On Friday (Oct. 9), Chrissie Hynde and Yttling Jazz debuted the cover on the Swedish TV show På Spåret, where Yttling Jazz are the house band for a few weeks, and a studio version was released on streaming services. We knew the cover was coming after Hynde wrote in a recent blog post, "Not much musically to report on my end, although I did go to Gothenburg a couple weeks ago to sing with The Bjorn Yttling Jazz combo. You'll remember I did that Stockholm album with Bjorn about 10 years ago. It's always good to hang out with those Swedes. And Bjorn's Jazz album, Yttling Jazz, is great. Glad to sing with them any time."
Below, check out the live debut and the recorded version.
