Kevin Ayers
That’s What You Get Babe
Genre: Ego
1.5 out of 5
I have read things about Kevin Ayers like he and Sid Barrett are the two most responsible for modern rock, post-Elvis, I guess.
But I have never seen any evidence of this. Mainly because my experience with Kevin comes from his 80s output.
In the case of those albums, he seems to just be a crappy songwriter who puts a lot of instrumentation around bad ideas and wraps them up and presents them as “songs”. Most of the time, to me, he sounds like a 3rd rate baritone Nillsson.
Harry had a sense of humor. Kevin seems to have had that extracted.
