Did Dave Davies completely stop writing during the 70s? (The Kinks)

Big Dave Davies fan. Wished he would have gotten more songs on some of those Kinks albums. He's a breath of fresh air between Ray's songs, like on the Lola album. I think of John Entwistle the same way with the Who, change of pace songs.

 

apparently Dave will be releasing an album of unreleased 70s material called Decade this year. could be a great year for kinks fans

 

AFL1-3603 and Glamour represented a rather potent one-two punch as far as Dave's solo work. Why songs like "7th Channel", "World Of Our Own" and "Doing The Best For You" never got airplay, I just don't understand. Pulling these discs down for a spin recently revealed just how well these works have aged -- which is to say, very well indeed. Glamour is as good or better than anything Ray or the Kinks were doing at the same time.

 

wow, where did you see that news?

awesome thanks

 

I haven’t been on his website in a while, I remember buying a few of his albums on his website. I don’t remember all the albums right now, but I just listened to Fortis Green. It’s a pretty good album, but it sounds like an album of demos.
