Our Take
The Kinks' "Muswell Hillbillies/Everybody's in Showbiz" is a delightful dive into the quirky, nostalgic world of British 70s rock. Ray Davies' songwriting is as sharp as ever, painting vivid portraits of working-class life in tunes like "20th Century Man" and "Celluloid Heroes." The album seamlessly blends country twang with wry British wit, creating a unique sound that feels both familiar and fresh. "Misfits" is a standout track, with its jangly guitars and infectious chorus, while "Sitting in My Hotel" captures the weary glamour of life on the road. The Kinks' storytelling prowess is on full display in tracks like "Motorway" and "Here Comes Yet Another Day," where Davies' distinctive vocal delivery adds an extra layer of charm. The live recordings on "Everybody's in Showbiz" showcase the band's undeniable energy and stage presence, with blistering performances of classics like "Lola" and "Waterloo Sunset." The addition of spoken-word interludes adds a playful touch, giving listeners a glimpse into the band's offstage antics. Overall, "Muswell Hillbillies/Everybody's in Showbiz" is a must-listen for fans of clever songwriting, infectious melodies, and a healthy dose of British eccentricity. The Kinks prove once again that they are masters of their craft, delivering an album that is as timeless as it is entertaining. Grab a pint, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Cheers!
