The Road, Live

(MCA)
Release Date: 01/01/1988 12:00

This perfectly competent live exercise highlights the Kinks’ mid-to-late 1980s output — not exactly the plot’s central thread. It’s sort of gutsy to release a live album featuring zero hits (except, um, “Apeman”), and the band’s in decent form. Two new cuts don’t add a ton, though it’s cute that in the title track, Ray calls Mick “Mrs. Avory’s child.” A deservedly obscure disc.
