Rolling Stone review of The 3 Way

Rolling Stone #811

Lilys
The 3-Way

There have been all sorts of Kinks obsessives over the years; rockers from Alex Chilton to Pulp have admired the Konfused Ones for their saucy Englishness and scores of sturdy tunes. But on The 3 Way, Lilys leader Kurt Heasley moves from simple hero worship into some sort of aural stalking. Check out the fake accents, harmonizing and guitar-organ purr of "Dimes Make Dollars"; Ray Davies hasn't been jacked like this since the Jam covered "David Watts." "Socs Hip" and "The Generator" have a sprightly, crafted bounce, but if you've never heard the glories of Something Else and Village Green Preservation Society, well, your choice is clear.
