Release Notes:
--------
Eighteen months after releasing his first ever solo album, Ray Davies is back
with what promises to be one of the best albums of his incredible career. While
last year's 'Other People's Lives' was a lifetime in the making, this new album
happened relatively quickly. Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, 'Working Mans
CafΘ' features 12 stellar songs written by Ray Davies and co- produced with Ray
Kennedy. They assembled a crackerjack band of top musicians who breathe life
into a wonderful collection of songs.
The 12 new songs are vintage Ray Davies and bears all the hallmark classic
musical and lyrical insights we have come to expect from him. The album is
infused with a transatlantic sound befitting RayÆs close ties to the American
south coupled with his well respected Englishness. From the first upbeat notes
of the lead track 'Vietnam Cowboys', it is clear Ray has never sung better.
'Working Mans CafΘ' is a wistful, humorous and poignant look at today, just what
we have come to expect from one of BritainÆs greatest songwriters. Highlights
are many and include the Preservation Jazz Hall sway of 'Morphine Song', the
painful longing of 'Imaginary Man' and the haunting emotion of 'One More Time'.
'You're Asking Me' and 'In A Moment' offer incredibly affecting pop while
'Working Man's CafΘ' revisits familiar Davies territory û that yearning for an
era gone by. Brimming with variety, 'Voodoo Walk' is a steamy stroll on the rock
side.'Where is the real world?' he asks on the albumÆs final track after giving
ample evidence throughout this impressive 12-song cycle that it lives within
these grooves.
