The all new, must-read memoir by legendary Kinks guitarist Dave Davies

Dave Davies is the co-founder and lead guitarist of epoch-defining band the Kinks, a group with fifty million record sales to their name. In his autobiography, Davies revisits the glory days of the band that spawned so much extraordinary music, and which had such a profound influence on bands from The Clash and Van Halen to Oasis and Blur.

Full of tales of the tumultuous times and the ups-and-downs of his relationship with his brother Ray, along with encounters with the likes of John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, this will be a glorious listen for Kinks fans and anyone who wants to hear about the heyday of rock 'n' roll.

Has the narrator only just learnt how to read!? How did he get the job? Great book otherwise

Great book. Awful narrator

The reader is appalling. So, you would be better off with a print copy.
He can get a bit long winded about astrology, UFOs and his offbeat ideas and beliefs. Otherwise, a history of the kinks. Didn't realize Ray Davies is such an insecure shit

Worth a listen

For those of us that grew up with the kinks as part of our teens this is a must. Thank you for sharing your life with us Dave Davies

Thank you Dave Davies

Narrator can't read!

It came as no surprise that this is the only full book that Ben Cartwright has narrated on Audible. As others have noted, he constantly pauses in the middle of sentences. He also keeps getting the emphasis wrong and he mispronounces words too.
I can see why they went for a guy with a working-class London accent but this one sounds like a gruff boxer, not a flamboyant rock star.
Having said that, there are two moments he does very well: the “Jump, Dave, jump!” near-suicide in New York is gripping, and the account of Dave meeting his teenage sweetheart and their daughter is very moving indeed.
As for Dave and his life story: I ‘m glad I heard him on the Rockonteurs podcast not long before listening to this book and it was fresh in my mind just how charming and likeable he was.
Otherwise I would have been even more exasperated with his constant self-sabotage, his endless carping about brother Ray (tricky customer though he is), the way he has left devoted and loyal women for younger models and his many paranormal obsessions. Time and again I found myself thinking: “Why can’t you just get over yourself?”
But if you love the Kinks as I do, respect Dave’s status as a guitar pioneer, and admire the way he has fought back from a major stroke, this is still an essential book. Just read it on the page, not this audiobook.

Worst narrator I’ve ever heard
