Great stuff, y'all. The Kinks are a band that I share with my daughters that are now 24 and 26. There is a bunch of music they used to love and now are just ho-hum about. The Kinks seem to have stuck around for good.
The Kinks are a fave of my for sure. My youngest son, about to turn 30, also quite likes them. Love sharing music with both my boys. We keep introducing each of to some great music.
Village Green Preservation is one of the great Kinks albums.
I remember the song being used in a Kodak commercial in the ‘90s(?). It’s from a time in Ray Davies career where he had turned in word with his writing. I believe it was released during a time when the band was unable to tour the U.S. I had the pleasure of seeing the Kinks in 1979 in Kansas City, Missouri, it was the Low Budget tour. The stage backdrop was a torn white sheet with the words Low Budget in black spray paint. Ray entered the stage in a too small tuxedo (low budget remember) with top hat and parasol. His brother Dave was dressed in all-black leather and would use one of two ramps (the other for Ray) to take his monster solos.
A show still vivid in my memory over 45 years later. PS…..Johnny Cougar opened!
I love it my daughter and I have talked about doing this.
One of the most rewarding projects I’ve ever worked on.

The Kinks have staying power!

Isn't that just an amazing connection to have with them?!
Yeah it sure is. David Crosby was right; music is love!
