[Machine Translation] Ray Davies, the central figure as singer and songwriter of THE KINKS, one of the most iconic bands in British rock history, and acclaimed as one of the most legendary songwriters of the past 50 years, releases his first original album in 10 years! This album was written and arranged by Davis himself, and produced in collaboration with Davis, Guy Massey, and John Jackson. The album is an autobiographical work, following Davis through the country and times that have played a very large role in his life. The songs shift in a variety of directions, from the openness of "The Great Highway" to the delicate duet "Message From The Road" with Karen Grotberg of The Jayhawks. Poetry, on the other hand, reminds us once again that Davis is a songwriter who can turn the smallest of details into the deepest of insights. The album also features frequent narration of excerpts from his memoir AMERICANA, published in 2013.
