• 1966’s Face To Face features the No. 1 single “Sunny Afternoon” as well as a plethora of other classic Ray Davies compositions rife with his signature sardonic wit. He skewers the vapid Don Juan of “Dandy” and the self-absorption and hypocrisy of the wealthy elite on tracks like “House in the Country” and “Most Exclusive Residence for Sale.” However, Davies’ humanity is also on display on tracks like “Rosie, Won’t You Please Come Home,” an unusual ’60s pop song that sides with the plight of parents against the cruelty of a rebellious child while other highlights include the world-weary “Too Much on My Mind,” the foreboding “Rainy Day in June,” and the Eastern-tinged and enigmatic “Fancy.”
