Synopsis
'a beautifully crafted, sustained meditation on postwar, working-class London and on the gentle balance between memory and nostalgia' - TLS
'Mark Doyle's excellent . . . book is a welcome piece of historically informed criticism that situates the Kinks in their proper milieu' - Wesley Stace, Wall Street Journal
'a compelling read for anyone even remotely interested in the band and its music' - Shindig!
Of all the great British bands to emerge from the 1960s, none had a stronger sense of place than the Kinks. Often described as the archetypal English band, they were above all a quintessentially working-class band with a deep attachment to London.
Mark Doyle examines the relationship between the Kinks and their city, from their early songs of teenage rebellion to their album-length works of social criticism. He finds fascinating and sometimes surprising connections with figures as diverse as Edmund Burke, John Clare and Charles Dickens. More than just a book about the Kinks, this is a book about a social class undergoing a series of profound changes, and about a group of young men who found a way to describe, lament and occasionally even celebrate those changes through song.
