comment |
Muswell Hillbillies is the tenth studio album by The Kinks, released in 1971. Named after Muswell Hill, the district of North London in which the Davies brothers grew up, it introduced a new country music influence to the band's sound, as well as New Orleans-style horns on some tracks. |

New Sound Album |
| | Muswell Hillbillies (Music) / int_22093e9b |
comment |
New Sound Album: Marked a new country rock sound for the Kinks, it specifically mixes American country with English musical hall, so convincingly that it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends. "20th Century Man" is even sung with a typical country western nasal twang. |

Working-Class Hero |
| | Muswell Hillbillies (Music) / int_73f8d546 |
comment |
Working-Class Hero: “Uncle Son”, which ambiguously seems to be a eulogy for a simple man, more sympathetic in tone than Lennon's famous song but the same undercurrent of scorn is there. It notes how working-class people are honoured and eulogized but exploited by the same people who romanticize their plight: The bonus track "Mountain Woman" also has a similar theme. The government shoves off people from their home and landscape to build a dam, and then compensate them with a modern apartment filled with Conspicuous Consumption. |

The Government: Recurrent source of angst, especially on “Here Come the People in Grey”. The climactic verse of "20th Century Man" is especially bitter and poignant: |
