THE KINKS - "SOMETHING ELSE" 1967
THE KINKS "SOMETHING ELSE" 1967 DAVID WATTS - The opening track on this fifth album by the band is a mix of 60s Pop with what sounds like early Glam Rock snippets. The lyrics sung by Ray Davies seem to lean towards admiration for a fellow popular schoolboy. Upbeat and cool intro to this album. DEATH OF A CLOWN - Named as "chamber Pop" this track is a kind of Folk Pop track with haunting "la la" chanted segments. Originally co-written by Ray Davies and his brother Dave (who released it as his first solo single). TWO SISTERS - Harpsichord led laid back 60s Pop track, singing about two sisters Sybilla and Priscilla, both with contrasting personalities, similar to Kinks' brothers Ray and Dave! Nice song. NO RETURN - An unusual minimal Acoustic style track with a kind of Bossa beat lightly drifting the song along. A little eerie and not one of my favourites but very experimental. HARRY RAG - Cla
