Book Musik 022 - "The Kinks: Songs of the Semi-Detached" by Mark Doyle

Tosh and Kimley discuss “The Kinks: Songs of the Semi-Detached” by
Mark Doyle. The Kinks are one of the iconic British Invasion bands
whose music has only gotten better with time. They were
quintessentially British and proud of their working-class roots
which came across in their music. Doyle explores the time and place
that nurtured The Kinks’ creative impulse specifically examining
their North London neighborhood, the British class structure and
the social upheaval of the postwar era. There’s a lot of conflict
and tension surrounding this band and “Semi-Detached” is the
perfect way to kick this off.
