Readers of this blog know that from time to time I mention my favorite band, The Kinks, which has been broken up for the past several years. Their genius singer/songwriter, Ray Davies, has a new album out and sadly it is not available in the U.S. yet. It was distributed free in the British Sunday Times a couple of weeks ago which has spurred a big load of publicity for the CD.And now the BBC has a link on their web site to a concert Ray did very recently in London which includes several of the new songs and many of his old hits.
Most people don't know much about Ray or The Kinks but when they start listening they recognize many of his songs.
Ray is known for his biting social commentary, excellent story telling, and great British humor in his music.
Here is a link to one of my favorite Kinks songs, No More Looking Back.
Enjoy the music.
