Book Reviews of Ray Davies: Not Like Everybody Else
Book Review: In Depth Look at a 20th Century Master
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, this is an excellent study of the career and creative process of a modern master. My only quibble is that scant attention is payed to later work. For instance, UK Jive and the terribly overlooked Phobia are hardly mentioned; and certainly Other People's Lives, Davies' first proper solo album, could have been discussed in detail. I'm hoping for an updated edition that takes a closer work at Davies' later work, including last year's brilliant Working Man's Cafe. Nonetheless, Kitts obviously knows and appreciates his subject, and this book is full of insights, analysis, and interviews. A must for Kinks / Ray Davies fanatics, but also for those less familiar with this musical genius. Anyone who reads this is bound to walk away with a greater appreciation for the man, his music, and his legacy.
