I only found out about this cover of the classic Kinks track about a year ago. This one was apparently used as a overture to his Elusive Light and Sound, Vol.1 CD, which consists of tracks that he wrote for various films. I absolutely love what he did with this track; he made it his own song whilst keeping the spirit of the original.
I guess when you are one of the world's greatest musicians covering a song written by one of the best songwriters, (Ray Davies), you can't go wrong.

Here is a studio recording on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Toto - Africa
My song pick two years ago today: Santana - Stone Flower
