Jenny Lewis Voyager front cover, showing just a woman's torso in a colorful blazer, perhaps painted. It is light colored at the top, blue shifting to darker green moving down the jacket, then turning to white with a line of ocean waves and clouds. There are stars across both lapels. Her brown hair hangs down on her right side, lightly wavy.

She is looking to her left, her head tilted down toward her left shoulder; her right arm is lightly clutching her left elbow. She is wearing a dark, low-cut top that is held closed only by two frogs about midway down. Two more frogs are open, exposing more skin below. 0

The Kinks – Preservation Act 1

As I’ve said before, I’m pretty allergic to most concept albums. And I was slow to get into the deep catalog of The Kinks, to listen to some of the full albums that really...
