Free Music Review: Still Gifted After All These Years Hit: 5 StarsIt would be easy for Mr. Davies to take the easy way out and produce a mediocre piece of work (a la MacCartney) and rest on his well-earned laurels, but instead, he takes chances. Working Man's Cafe is a testament that the genius that produced "Arthur" and "Village Green" is still very much with us.
Free Music Review: Very good effort Hit: 5 StarsI found about about this CD as I was reading a review for it in the paper while eating lunch. I have come to grow a greater appreciation of the Kinks and I enjoyed his other solo album (Other People's Lives. This is another musician that has gotten better with age.
I love first song on the album (Vietnam Cowboys). I also like the song he wrote while recovering from a gun shot wound. The whole album has comments about globalization and its impact on the US. It definately also provides an outsiders view of the US. The one thing I like most about him is his songwriting ability and lyrics. very biting after all these years.
Just wish he'd get back together with his brother and release a Kinks album.
Free Music Review: New work from an old master Hit: 4 StarsRay Davies still has the eye for detail and ear for melody that made the Kinks one of THE classic rock bands. His new songs, as ever, comment wryly on the world today, including class differences, something rarely discussed in rock. The songs are good, the arrangements show them off well. And if you can catch Ray live, he still rocks.
Free Music Review: Working Man's Cafe (Ltd Ed Deluxe CD/DVD Combo) Hit: 5 StarsThis CD shows that Ray Davies is still a gifted songwriter. He continues to write about his observations as he goes through life in a way that pleases Kinks fans and non-fans alike. Seeing Ray Davies perform these new songs live made me love them even more. The bonus DVD is a great treat.
