Summary:

This book tracks every move in this great band's career. With the help of band members, the author has reconstructed The Kinks' meteoric rise to fame in the early '60s through its dissolution and revival in the '70s, stadium success in the '80s, and an apparently final breakdown in the late'90s. From this chronicle emerges the story of a band often at odds with an industry going in the opposite direction. The book also profiles Ray Davies, one of the most gifted songwriters in popular music. The book's easy-to-browse, day-by-day format details the band's entire concert history, all known recording sessions, its broadcast history, and all records issued in the U.S. and the U.K.

Notes:
