I don't know if this is old news to some of you
already, but I've just given a once through of the new
Ray Davies disc "Other People's Lives" and I'm
impressed. I find that too often too many of our
favorite artists either don't age well, lose touch
with what made them special, or try to recapture their
youth with embarrassing results. Not so here - In
fact the opposite is true in all three cases. Davies
somehow manages to recapture his 70's Kinks heyday
while updating his material & production to not sound
dated or out of step.
The only other album I can think of recently that I'd
put in this catagory (60's/70's Artist comeback) would
be Ian Hunter's 2001 release "Rant."
