The story behind
I’ve Been Driving on Bald Mountain, according to DoReSol
When you dive into *I’ve Been Driving on Bald Mountain*, you encounter a piece that, with a duration of just 2:03, encapsulates a particular energy. What stands out is that this song is part of tracks 7 to 10 of the EP *Kinksize Session*. It's interesting to note how, despite its brevity, it integrates into a broader context of material released by The Kinks.
This track was conceived by Ray Davies, who was responsible for its composition. The recording was produced by Shel Talmy. The debut album by The Kinks, where it was originally included, was released in 1964. In the United States, this same work was presented under the title You Really Got Me, although with a different track selection than the original edition. Later, in 1998, the album was reissued in the UK by Castle Records, adding twelve additional songs, and this expanded version had a new edition in 2004 with Sanctuary Records.
