Ray Davies
Legendary Kinks frontman-songwriter Ray Davies returns with his first solo album in a decade, named after his acclaimed 2013. Davies wrote and arranged Americana, based on themes explored in his memoir, and was joined by co-producers Guy Massey and John Jackson, and The Jayhawks as his backing band. In addition to new Davies songs, the album also features brief spoken-word passages from the book, to create a musical autobiography of Davies' time in America. Available on CD, LP, and DD.
