Ray Davies - Working Man’s Café
Since the dissolution of The Kinks, the satirical bard of English pop culture has kept busy writing books, making films and staging a one-man show. On his second solo album since getting shot in New Orleans, Davies takes aim at globalization (“Vietnam Cowboys”) and bureaucracy (“No One Listen”) and offers wistful views on middle age (“Imaginary Man”) and changing times (the Cockney-tinged title track). And on the poignant “One More Time,” Davies sounds like Ron Sexsmith’s dad—only way cooler.
