Wrapping up the Kinky kick-off to '12, a couple deeper cuts for you. Both are from the wonderful "Muswell Hillbillies" LP from 1971, an album that was regarded as a bit of a flop at the time, even for a band that was gliding into the '70s having already slid into the periphery of bands that "mattered". And after "Muswell", the Kinks certainly proceeded to veer off into more dubious, theatrical territory (five albums' worth!). And, sure, "Muswell" is a bit muddy sounding but, lordy, is it ever a catchy, rambling statement that dwells on some or all the usual Kinksy concerns--- England, America, the 19th century (nostalgia) and 20th (paranoia), Mum/ Dad/ family, the tedium of touring, assorted food and drink, spinsters, dancehalls, holiday, etc.
So get enjoyin'!
