Description

[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.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

アメリカーナ [2LP/輸入盤] / レイ・デイヴィス

英国ロック史を代表するバンド、THE KINKSのシンガー、ソングライターを務める中心的人物として、そして過去50年に亘り伝説的なソングライターの一人として高く評価されてきたレイ・デイヴィスが10年振りとなるオリジナル・アルバムをリリース! 今作は、自身が作詞、作曲、編曲を担当、プロデュースはデイヴィスとガイ・マッシー、ジョン・ジャクソンでの共同制作。このアルバムは自伝的な作品であり、デイヴィスの人生の中で非常に大きな役割を果たしてきたアメリカという国、時代を追いながら描いている。開放感に満ちた「The Great Highway」からザ・ジェイホークスのカレン・グロットバーグとの繊細なデュエット「Message From The Road」に至るまで、曲調はさまざまな方向に移り変わっていく。一方、「Poetry」は、デイヴィスというソングライターが細かいディテールの描写を深い洞察にまで高めることができることを改めて感じさせてくれる。またこのアルバムでは、2013年に出版された自身の回想録『AMERICANA』の抜粋もナレーションでたびたび語られている。
