Americana: The Kinks, the Riff, the Road: The Story

Ray writes wonderfully about his experiences in New Orleans, including when a mugger shot him there in 2004. He also flashes back frequently to moments from his career with the Kinks. While I am usually eager to devour any information about the band – even during their slow decline in the '80s and '90s – he frequently overdoes it here with too much minutia regarding record label hierarchy and business managers.
