Muswell Hillbillies/Everybody’s In Show-Biz reissue coming in September

Harris L Music August 26, 2022 1 Minute

Muswell Hillbillies is my favorite Kinks album. Everybody’s In Show-Biz, is good, not great. I like the live disc which was a good representation of their shows around then (1972) – I saw one.

The Paranoid Style always has great posts about music.

‘Muswell Hillbillies’ is the Kinks album where Ray Davies’ small-c conservatism fully cross-pollinates with his burlesque impulses, resulting in a comedic concept album about being too paranoid to leave the house. Haggard's poetic provincialism meets The Band’s musical big tent.

After the Kinks tapped into American music on 1971's 'Muswell Hillbillies,' they continued to take inspiration from across the pond on its 11th album, 'Everybody's in Show-Biz': https://t.co/azCW5ejaVp
