Kinks kaptain Ray Davies ("You Really Got Me," "Sunny Afternoon," "Come Dancing" and a zillion more) has released an extended play (EP) CD. All net proceeds benefit New Orleans music education programs.
Ray took a bullet in the streets of the Big Easy awhile back after pursuing a mugger or somebody. He's okay.
The EP is entitled "Thanksgiving Day," and features the title track and 3 other Davies songs, along with an alternate mix of the title track. In February the songs will be absorbed into Ray's "Other People's Lives" CD, his first solo album.
As far as I can see, no other Kinks play on the recording. He does much of the recording, however, at the Kinks studios, Konk, in London.
The Kinks, featuring Ray and his guitarist brother Dave, were part of the British Invasion of the 1960s. The group's best known songs (in addition to the ones already mentioned) include "Where Have All The Good Times Gone," "All Day and All of the Night," "Lola," and "Waterloo Sunset."
For more information about the recording, which I bought at a Best Buy store in the Berkshires, click here.

In his younger days, Ray would have caught the bullet. Back when he was...Superman. Never mind that, when's he coming to the Narrows???????
