The Kinks One for the Road [Enhanced] [Remaster]

The Kinks: Ray Davies (vocals, guitar); Dave Davies (guitar, background vocals); Ian Gibbons (keyboards, background vocals); Jim Rodford (bass guitar, background vocals); Mick Avory (drums).Additional personnel: Nick Newell (keyboards).Audio Remasterer: Bob Ludwig.Liner Note Author: Fred Schruers.The second half of the '70s were a good time for The Kinks, as they had finally become a consistently successful draw in America. The live ONE FOR THE ROAD followed on the heels of LOW BUDGET, an album conceived by Ray Davies as a half-live and half-in-studio effort. If one song sums up the Davies brothers' contrasting personalities, it is ROAD's version of "All Day And All Of The Night." Dave Davies big-fisted chordal riffs give way to his brother Ray's brief trip into the light camp of a "Day-O"-style sing-along.ONE FOR THE ROAD captures an era when The Kinks reclaimed their sleek muscularity, leaving behind the theatrics that had been a feature of their act in the first half of the decade.
