This song is beautiful. I just love the lyrics and the melody, especially the part about the fruit and veg man what a classic song. Only Ray Davies would release his first solo albums over thirty years after the Kinks prime and have it be this damn good. None of his contemporaries outside of Bob Dylan have released any solo albums this strong in the last 10 years.

Ray still is the greatest songwriter of all time and the KinKs stillthe greatest band. God save the KinKs forever. And for all we know they may still have a way to go. BUT until then catch Ray on his solo end of year 2008 tour in the US! - Frank Lima, The Montvale, New Jersey Hillbilly Boy aka Dan the Fan

Ray actually lives in London now, north London, right round where he grew up. So you are way off the mark there. And I think it's save to say that he doesn't hate the UK, he's probably one of its greatest champions. And this particular song is great evidence of that, that's what it is about.

Does e?? U sure? Read article where he was interviewed saying he now lived in New Orleans and it was the only place he had ever felt really a home and that he had wished he had moved there years ago...I lived in North Londona t time of Ray and the Kinks and the Muswwll Hillbilly thing so was VERY surprised to read this interview,,,said his new band was based out of there and all that...

I was at Hampton Court too, amazing performance! Great to see him still trying out new ideas and writing new material, not just resting on his back catelogue
