TV Times by Ray Davies & Terry DevineKing is a captivating album that offers a unique blend of rock and pop music. The album features twelve tracks that are inspired by the golden age of television, with each song telling a different story. The album is a collaboration between Ray Davies, the legendary frontman of The Kinks, and Terry DevineKing, a renowned composer and producer.
