Under The Influence-The Kinks Go Americana



One fine morning in 1970, Ray Davies woke up to find that his body and mind had been inhabited by Richard Manuel from The Band. A great song resulted-"Strangers" from Lola Vs. The Powerman and the Moneyground. The Kinks' love affair with The Band lasted through 1971's Muswell Hillbillies, a really fun album that I highly recommend. Its also widely considered their last good record.
