The Kinks: Muswell Hillbillies
Metal Mike Saunders, Rolling Stone, 3 February 1972
CAN YOU TELL the Kinks apart in the picture on the cover of their new album? No, of course. Except for Ray, they all look the same these days. Faceless. Their music has also been sounding that way lately. Still, they're a heap better than most other groups you could ever name.
