Ray & Lola

Londoner Raymond Douglas Davies - aka Ray Davies - is an old chap. Born in 1944 and kicked to fame with rockers The Kinks.

He just released an album of Kinks classics recorded with friends like Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi,...

Just heard the surprising re-take of The Kinks' supersong Lola with guest vocals by Paloma Faith. At first listen you might go "No man....", but re-takes are not there to be carboncopies of the original (that fails 99.99999999999% of the time) but a creative and original approach to a classic. And this is what Ray and Paloma did with Lola.

And thus, as they say, find Ray Davies' album See My Friends in a recordstore near you,.... or on the net.
