Strangers- The Kinks

From their critically acclaimed comeback album Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One in 1970 Strangers was written by Dave Davies supposedly about his brother Ray & the trials & tribulations of being in one of the greatest rock bands of the British Invasion Era.
I grew up on classic rock, but selective classic rock. My dad was the main influence on what my family listened to for most of my childhood until about 12 years old when I purchased my 1st CD, Ace of Base; I saw the sign (yes, I know…tragic). We didn’t listen to alot of the British Invasion bands (aside from the Beatles of course), my Father enjoyed more of the classic american rock & bluegrass. I’m pretty grateful to have the Kinks in my life now. This track in particular is centered from a certain compilation CD for Alizah’s 23rd Bday, over 2 years old STILL one of the best mix CD’s I’ve heard to date.
