Hillbilly Boy

I hate it when other people than me write brilliant things about Ray Davies but The Paranoid Style nails it:

Muswell Hillbillies’ is the Kinks album where Ray Davies’ small-c conservatism fully cross-pollinates with his burlesque impulses, resulting in a comedic concept album about being too paranoid to leave the house. Haggard's poetic provincialism meets The Band’s musical big tent.
