The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies, 1971 Konk Records
Yes......if it wàs not for Lola I dont think this album would have ever seen the light....but thank god for Lola ! Muswell Hillbillies was the follow up to 1969`s controversial concept album ``Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1` and was an album that remains to this day one of my personal favourite Kinks albums and is an album that does not boast a hit or a true single for the kinks! Each song undoubtedly like the whole albums itself shares a similar theme, namely the lives of the working class which is conveyed thru Davies music and lyrics. In classic Ray Davies style the whole album reflects the mood and theme of working class and carefully blends American and British roots music.
