Ray Davies schreibt auf seiner Homepage:
September 2010: Ray releases „See My Friends“, an album of classic Kinks songs turned into unique collaborations on Universal UK on November 1st. (Europe to be same week, US to follow early next year) There is a new microsite for the album at www.seemyfriends.co.uk which will be updated weekly with new information.
On this one of a kind album, Ray collaborates with a formidable selection of artists on tracks from his incredible songwriting career, revisiting his back catalogue and crafting new versions of his classic songs. Everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Metallica features on this diverse collection of material.
Highlights include ‚Days’/’This Time Tomorrow‘ with Mumford & Sons, ‚Better Things‘ with Bruce Springsteen, ‚You Really Got Me‘ with Metallica and ‚A Long Way from Home‘ with Lucinda Williams and Ray’s first choice with the late great Big Star/Boxtops singer Alex Chilton
„This project came about almost by accident,“ says Davies of the project, which was kick-started when he recorded a version of ‚Till The End Of The Day‘ in the summer of 2009, with Alex Chilton.
„With some tracks I had to appreciate the style of the other artists, otherwise it would have sounded unbalanced. And I wanted the album to work as an entire listening experience but each track had a life of its own,“ explains Ray.
Ray was happy to go where the music took him, in every sense: Oslo via Denmark, Germany and Belgium to record with Metallica, New York to record with Jon Bon Jovi, New Jersey for Bruce Springsteen, Chicago for Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins and his own north London base, the legendary KONK studios, for much of the rest. „This record is well-travelled already,“ explains Ray.
Paloma Faith, Jackson Browne, Black Francis of the Pixies, Lucinda Williams, Amy MacDonald and Spoon also feature on the record, which follows Ray’s acclaimed tour of North America and the UK plus a stand out set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage this summer. – Quelle
