It's not that long ago that Ray Davies released an album of Kinks klassics with a choir ('The Kinks Choral Collection') and here he is doing it again with a range of musicians from Bruce Springsteen to Metallica via Mumford And Sons and Paloma Faith. The album is called, 'See My Friends' (a Kinks song, of course) and it's out on 1 November. The album even has it's own website.The tracklisting and collaborations are:
1. Better Things - Ray & Bruce Springsteen
2. Celluloid Heroes - Ray, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora
3. Days/This Time Tomorrow - Ray & Mumford & Sons
4. Long Way From Home - Ray, Lucinda Williams & The 88
5. You Really Got Me - Ray & Metallica
6. Lola - Ray & Paloma Faith
7. Waterloo Sunset 0 Ray & Jackson Browne
8. 'Til The End Of The Day - Ray, Alex Chilton & The 88
9. Dead End Street - Ray & Amy MacDonald
10. See My Friends - Ray & Spoon
11. This Is Where I Belong - Ray & Black Francis
12. David Watts - Ray & The 88
13. Tired Of Waiting - Ray & Gary Lightbody
14. All Day And All Of The Night/Destroyer - Ray & Billy Corgan
You can hear a few samples on the website and it sounds intriguing to say the least. The short clip of 'Lola' sounds excellent - I think I'll like it.
