Album Project update! 'Sleepwalker' (1977). It's the 15th studio album by the Kinks, and the first with their new record label Arista. It's a return to their roots, in some ways. No more concept stuff. Just rock that's both edgy and humorous. When I listened to it for the first time I was struck by how the bass on 'Mr. Big Man' doesn't seem quite the same as on the other tracks. This is because I am sad and pathetic, I guess! Or I like bass guitar too much. Anyway, I was interested to find out that that is the only track on this album that was played by the new Kinks bass player, Andy Pyle. John Dalton left during the recording of the album. It's a very slick piece of work, this album, showing off all their talents. I liked it. :)
