Ray Davies Americana ACT II GATEFOLD JACKET LIMITED EDITION  DOUBLE LP SET

Fifth Solo Album On Double LP!

Featuring The Jayhawks As Backing Band!

The former Kinks frontman, who was knighted in December 2016, has, to date, released four solo albums, with the most recent being 2007’s ‘Working Man’s Cafe’. The 72-year-old songwriter has officially announced his return to solo recording by releasing his fifth solo album, ‘Americana’. Davies is backed by the alt-country band The Jayhawks.

For more than 50 years, Sir Raymond Douglas Davies, CBE, has been fascinated with American music and American culture. In the early 1960s, he and his brother Dave formed The Kinks to play Little Richard songs and original tunes steeped in rock 'n' roll. All these years later, Ray Davies is still making music and still fascinated with our culture, although the song Poetry, recorded with The Jayhawks, looks at a sadder, less soul-filled America.

"Poetry" is the first glimpse of his album, Americana, his first record in nearly a decade. Where Ray Davies was once enchanted by the black hills of Kentucky, this song looks at America's fascination with materialism.

Americana the album draws inspiration from Americana the memoir, which included thoughts on The Kinks' ban from America in the '60s and Ray's move to the U.S. later in life. The album also contains a number of spoken-word passages from Davies' autobiography.

It's a thrill to have new songs from Ray Davies, who for the past five decades has been one of rock's great song painters, making music with heart and poetry.
