Songs of Ray Davies
I have spent a bit of time, yesterday and today, compiling a playlist of the songs of Ray Davies which I feel contain his best observations on the British class system. He is never analytical or dispassionate, rather he speaks warmly (on the whole) through the voices of his characters. I am strugglng to think of any other songwriter who has done this. And he has musicality in spades. This is the playlist I ended up with.
1. Victoria
2. A Well Respected Man
3. Autumn Alamanac
4. She’s got a Hat like Princess Marina
5. The Village Green Preservation Socity
6. Do You Remember Walter
7. Picture Book
8. Drivin’
9. Shangri-la
10. Days
11. See My Friends
12. Waterloo Sunset
