Listening Theme 47 – Ray Davies & The Kinks
by Paul Adams on Saturday, November 27, 2010 at 12:25am
Hi all,
Ray Davies has a new album out (in the UK at least, I believe the US will have to wait until March – sorry). As the title suggests “See My Friends” is a collaborative album featuring reworkings of classic Kinks tracks by Davies and his Rock ‘n’ Roll chums (Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi & Ritchie Sambora, Metalica, Jackson Browne and the late Alex Chilton among others). Therefore, I thought I’d have a week or two listening to some Ray Davies and The Kinks (or tracks covered by other bands) so if you’ve got any recommendations please let me know and I’ll try to listen to as many I can.
Cheers, Paul
Like Mr. Hickman I have been riveting by Ray’s songs and Dave’s guitar (and tunes)…Where to begin… Shangri-la ( from Arthur, Or The Decline of …) It is like a novel in a song and it rocks and brings real emotion. Fave line: You’re in your place and you know where you are, in your Shangri-la
