Potrero Hillbillies do the Kinks!

are The Potrero Hillbillies!

Joshua Raoul Brody writes:  Everybody loves the Kinks. Not everybody loves their widely overlooked album Muswell Hillbillies, and that is a shame: it’s one of those albums (like, in this writer’s opinion, Revolver, Loaded (what an interesting juxtaposition!), the Band’s 2nd album,Smiley Smile, Loudon Wainwright’s High Wide & Handsome, and Little Village) where every track is exquisite PLUS they all hang together to make a lovely whole PLUS it sounds like everybody had a lot of fun making it (whether or not that’s actually true) AND it’s a lot of fun to listen to.

Underrated genius Ray Davies joined alternately witty and heartbreaking lyrics to his brother’s gift for irresistibly catchy guitar hooks and the result should have been even more successful than the previous year’s “Lola”, but somehow it didn’t take off – maybe switching record labels had something to do with that … or maybe you have another theory?

Come share it with us (us being JRB, Joe Cunningham, and Christopher Gray) as we do our best to recreate the magic of that album, plus a handful of other Kinks sides.
