There's a new album by Ray Davies titled Dog Fights & Shootouts that sounds like a soundtrack for a western movie.

Not 'our' Ray Davies I don't think...

I think that as well. But when I click on Ray's name it directs me to his Spotify page, which is odd.

Oh, Dave! Glad he is till with us. He did well on his solo albums. I often play 'em. He seems like a lovely bloke, probably more open minded than Ray.
Happy B-day to him!
It is unfortunately over for the Kinks.
To The Bone is one of the most enjoyable live albums out there.

"To The Bone" is great..a total commercial flop they had to release on their own label. Apparently the live sessions at KONK for "To The Bone" were filmed..this looks like it...totally in their element here..

The two-disc To The Bone is indeed a great record to go out with. In the liner notes, however, Ray writes about songs that would turn up on future Kinks releases. They never did of course.
I get the impression that the reunion rumours always start to float about when they have some record to sell, be it an expanded reissue, a solo record or a compilation. This has been the template since 2004 or thereabout.
Btw, I always regarded Apeman a bit as a nod to the Stones' Monkeyman, although the songs are very different indeed.
They never stopped. I think that was their problem. They had good stuff in the 80s but it was few and far between and just when you're around that long people think (and you are) old news. Go away and people want you again. Look at someone like the Eagles. They didn't go away till it was too late, and then they rekindled their relationship too late.Quote

Now everyone wants to see The Kinks, but in the 90s no one cared for them. Still, they carried on. Life's not fair.
