Break Up the Concrete

Break Up the Concrete is the ninth studio album by rock group The Pretenders. It is their first studio album since Loose Screw back in 2002. Several "exclusive" editions of the disc exist (see track listing below); each appends a new countrified version of Pretenders' classic, in keeping with the general sound of the album. The title song "Break Up the Concrete" was used in the opening scene of an episode of House M.D. ("5 to 9", season 6, episode 14). The first edition of Break Up the Concrete also includes a small sheet of "handmade seed paper", which can be planted, and if cared for, promise to sprout within a few weeks. Break Up the Concrete was the first Pretenders album since 1994's Last of the Independents not to feature Martin...
