Ray Davies / new album Americana


Ray Davies returns in April with Americana, his first solo album in 10 years.

The 15-track long-player shares the name of his 2013 autobiography and when the Kinks frontman spoke to Billboard back in early 2015, he told them he’d penned “100 some songs with that I need to start recording” for the this very album.

Americana is co-produced with Guy Massey and John Jackson and like the book, is very much an autobiographical work. Indeed it includes a number of short spoken-word passages from Davies’ memoir. Americana also features a duet with The Jayhawks’ Karen Grotberg.

Americana will be issued on CD and 2LP vinyl on 21 April 2017.
