Author Description

March 2017. Feature interviews with Ray Davies of THE KINKS. Also: NEIL YOUNG, KLF, SUGGS, THIN LIZZY, BLONDIE, BILL EVANS, THE STRAY CATS, and more. A real treat here is the included music CD, which is the complete 1967 Kinks album "Something Else," as interpreted by an amazing array of current musicians. A Kinks fan MUST HAVE. Ray Davies was the '60s' master storyteller and '70s' arch-conceptualist, and helped inspire punk as an uncompromising outsider icon. Then, in 2004, he was shot in New Orleans and could have easily died. This month, he tells all to MOJO magazine, while his songs make up our free CD: The Kinks' classic 1967 album, Something Else, covered song-for-song, by Ty Segall, Gaz Coombes, Nada Surf, Mick Harvey and more.
