For me, at least, there are few things better in life than getting blindsided by a great album I didn't know existed and couldn't have expected to exist. I'm listening to The Kinks 1971 album, Muswell Hillbillies, and I'm loving it. This is my kind of country rock. It's distinguished, subtle, and it doesn't take itself seriously. Muswell Hillbillies is a nice flipside to The Stones' brand of honky tonk, which can be a little too dirty for me, sometimes. "Oklahoma U.S.A." is the first genuinely powerless and sweet barrelhouse song I've heard. Click on the title above to read a review of the album.
