The Kinks, Muswell Hillbillies 1971 classic album has been remastered in stereo from the original audio source for the albums 50th Anniversary on heavy weight 180 gram vinyl. The album introduces a number of working class figures and the stresses with which they must contend. It did not sell well but received critical acclaim and lasting fan appreciation. Dave Davies commented on the song, "There's that love and fondness for Americana and for country music because I had quite a big family, and all the great films like South Pacific and Oklahoma! – all these influences from the States – were embedded in our culture when growing up. It was kind of like a London version of The Beverly Hillbillies in a humorous way." [2] Release [ edit ]

No, of course. Except for Ray, they all look the same these days. Faceless. Their music has also been sounding that way lately. Still, they’re a heap better than most other groups you could ever name.
