kinks

The Kinks's 1971 'Muswell Hillbillies' album was a critical success, but a commercial flop. The album -- their ninth -- will be reissued this fall with an abundance of bonus tracks. The original album included 12 songs; the reissue will contain 25.

More than any of their contemporaries, the Kinks stormed through three decades with a natural survival instinct that rarely compromised their ideals.

Friday evening (Dec. 16), Ray Davies, former frontman of the Kinks, made a special appearance at Coniston Institute in Cumbria, England, where production was underway for his new musical, ‘Child’s Play.’

This could be the year of groups reuniting.  First we had Buffalo Springfield getting together for a tour, The Zombies are rumored as well as McGuinn & the Byrds. It should be a great year! With both Davies brothers seemingly on board, a reunion could be imminent By all logic The Kinks should be on the verge of a reunion. "I’m seeing Dave next week," Ray Davies tells Rolling Stone in
