Oasis won't be knocking this Brit-pop royalty off its throne any time soon. This satisfying two-disc set interweaves recent acoustic studio performances and live recordings, including 27 Kinks classics and two new Ray Davies songs: the title ballad and the rocker "Animal." The concert tracks are polished and playful, while the "unplugged" environment showcases the emotion and craft in Davies' songwriting.
