Music reviews of To the Bone

Music Review: A slightly flawed classic
Rating: 4 Stars

Conventional wisdom - as well as common sense - tells us that the four heavy hitters from 60s England were the Beatles, the Stones, the Who and this band. Unfortunately for Ray Davies, (pronounced "Davis," by the way) the creative force of the group, that which expressed his genius and made him great was a quality which didn't appeal to the masses as did the genius of Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards and Pete Townsend. This by no means implies that Ray was a lesser talent. The fact is, Mr. Davies was and still is at his best as a storyteller. His wit is unparalleled in rock ("Just when I wanted no one to be there, All of my friends were there, Not just my friends, but there best friends, too...") and his portraits and observations are biting without being self-servingly bitter, wry, yet very accessible and above all, brimming with empathy and pathos. He has consistently carried the torch for the unsung common man and has often displayed a sensibility more akin to a novelist than a pop songsmith. The fact that brother Dave was THE originater of the power chord - born fully formed in "You Really Got Me" - from which came all heavy metal and all forms of hard rock make him a legend, too. His distorted tone, chronicled so charmingly well on Ray's 1998 solo CD, The Storyteller, has remained a staple and defining element in the Kinks sound. I have always thought, however, that Ray Davies's best material was the smaller stuff - the material on Village Green Preservation Society, for example, which is represented by a wonderful three song set on the second disc. I'm talking about songs like "Days" - a gorgeous version of which appears with heartfelt Rickenbacker 12-string at the end of disc 2 - and even the much later "Don't Forget to Dance, which show the depth of his empathy, only reachable in midlife. I was, therefore, a bit diappointed at the string of power-rock anthems in the middle of the second disc. They work but they aren't what sets the Kinks apart. At least half of the tunes are full-blown electric band stuff. But the quieter ones are, for the most part, the best ones - my favorites, anyway. Other standouts for me are "See My Friends" and the early Dave Davies classic, "Death of a Clown" from Something Else, which follows it. One might question the inclusion of a few of the tunes because they've been released in so many other forms already - i.e., we might have done all right without new versions of "You Really Got Me" and Lola?" A few more of the esoteric songs would have been nice - "Who Will Be the Next in Line" and "Dream" come to mind immediately. All this having been said, Ray is in very fine voice, the band is tight and versatile and I'm always grateful for another opportunity to listen to the Kinks. If you are at all into their music, you'll be glad you own To the Bone. Oh - and by the way, the last two tunes, "Animal" and the title track were written, I believe, around the time of the recording of the CD. Both amply show that as of the early 90s, Ray still very much had the magic.
