GUEST,jim bainbridge UK 60s Folk Club Boom? (1167* d) RE: UK 60s Folk Club Boom? 28 Feb 19


Yes really...

I would say that the songs written by Ray Davies of the Kinks around the height of the 'folk' boom were some of the most perceptive and interesting of any written around that time.
a few- Dead End Street

I will not make any comparison with 'folk' or 'contemporary' songs of that era, but I'd recommend that any critic of the Kinks should actually listen to the words, always sung in an identifiably English accent.
