About the album:
Americana was written, conceived, and arranged, by Davies, and co-produced with Guy Massey and John Jackson. The album is an autobiographical work, chronicling the inextricable role America has played in Davies' life. From his earliest days touring the U.S. with the Kinks and subsequent blacklisting by the American Musicians Union, to his years playing stadiums and eventually settling in New York and New Orleans for a time, America has served as both muse and tempest to Davies.

The greatest storyteller in Rock music history.
That’s a fact.
The best songwriter of the last 100 years Ray Davies. I never tire of hearing his music. Long live the Kinks!
Well there are a few other geniuses of course...
I couldn't agree more!
God save the Kinks!
I’ll say 200yrs. 😁
What can I say?! I love that man. Fabulous, magnetic voice.
Ray Davies protected me when I was at an after-party. I was 18; it was the Word of Mouth Tour in 1985. He was an absolute gentleman, he is such a kind, sweet, man. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great
Really you got to meet him? That's like so cool!
I've met Ray a few times,in Edinburgh - Storyteller tour. ❤
He is a true gentleman and they don’t make them like that anymore!
@@sharonra2000 He still is, and will always remain my special Boo. ♥️♥️♥️
"My baby brother and me" ♡♡♡sweet
Ray Davies and The Jayhawks, truly a match made in musical heaven!
His voice is the sweetest, most haunting voice that's ever graced rock and roll.
My brother recently died. He took me to my first Kinks’ concert. He and I used to bring up Kinks’ song to mind when they fit the memories we had or things that we said. God! I’m going to miss that so much! 😭❤️
Love The Kinks. They give the people what they want!
Ray Davies song writing and talent is unmatched. Each work is tiny view into his soul, so honest, so brave, so comforting. Decades of work describing the human condition like few other artists could ever hope to achieve. Every time I hear his voice I literally smile. Thank you!!!
well said
so glad to be able to say as i write this my songwriting heroes Ray, Townshend, Brian Wilson and Macca are still here to be appreciated.
He may sound old whenever he speaks, but when it comes to singing, I still hear it the way he was in 1960s.
Sir Raymond Douglas Davies CBE, one of the greatest songwriters of all
time!Thanks so much Sir we love you!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray Davies je génius, skládá největší hity. Poslouchám ho již od šedesátých let. Ať mu hodně slouží zdraví. Děkuji a zdravím srdečně from Czech Republic.
He looks like he had a blast doing this. And his American ...country western American is great!
No one better than Ray.
"The fish is the last to discover water." Ray Davies, coming from England, sees America clearer than Americans do. This song, Celluloid Heroes.....etc., ETC..... Long Live The Kinks!
Never get enough A quintessential musician
I haven't bought a "new" album since the 60's, all my vinyl coming from record fairs and ebay, so I was surprised to find myself in our local HMV store buying "Americana", on vinyl, of course. This is a tour de force from Ray Davies, reflecting my childhood exactly, when looking at the USA. Britain had just come out of a devastating World War and we were really broke. The cinema was our window on the world and the States looked exciting and we all wanted a part of it. Cowboy films, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, The Bowery Boys,Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley, Saturday morning pictures. This album brought it all back. Well done Ray, this is a classic.
Ray always knocks my socks off.....
Still singing....and loving our country....and getting that spirit of completely open opportunity to do whatever your heart says.
Tears to my eyes.... Beautiful. He knew the America that I also loved. This song should be played on our country stations!
His voice and songwriting make it sound easy. A genius.
One of the greatest front men in rock history.
Thanks Ray ☝
Ray = Musical genius!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good lord, nice job Jayhawks! And of course Ray!
A fabulous songwriter and performer!
Ray Davies is back - this is great.
Ray does it again! So beautiful!
For about the 80th time, by my count. So many classic songs from this rock icon.
My very 1st concert in 1979 at the Cape Cod Coliseum. Thx for the songs Ray…WOW who’s better than the Kinks?
Nobody. 👏🏻
brilliant song :)/
Arguably one of the top 10 song writers ever has become an American boomer. Amazing
Not one of, he’s the GOAT
Ray Davies, a true classic. Bravo!
Ray, you are the shit! You never stop amazing. Thank you.
I don’t know why but ray davies breaks my heart and at the same time captures my soul
Love his voice! And of course, the depth of his poetry.
So so beautiful!
Great, beautiful song!
This will sound lunatic, but on the basis of this and Muswill Hillbilly, Ray belongs in The Country Music Hall of Fame as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He certainly deserves it more than couple of recent inductees.
I've just heard an interview with the great man on Robert Elms radio show and he comes over as such a decent man, always interesting to listen to and still writing fantastic songs, long may he continue
Happy Birthday, sir Ray !
keep it coming Ray
WoW!!!!!!! WoW!!!!! Magic.
oooh hes just so gorgeous !!
Genius
Looking good here Ray, long may you run!!
I saw the kinks many times in NYC where they played as they toured continuously in the 80s. I Miss seeing them sometimes get into fights onstage onstage
Beautiful song....well done Ray, you've still got it!!!
only got to see them LIVE once - 1983 US Festival- have loved their sound since 1964
classic one to remember great song
The Storyteller strikes again!
Aaahhh the way America used to be! Thanks Ray🤠🏜️🌅🇺🇸
Wow, what a great song.

One of the greatest to ever walk the earth.
THE greatest.
So true
Yes.
Always the best songwriter. He is a truly artist in the music world, that's why he never lost his creativity. There is always something new and fresh in his music. Only genuine artists have that privilege.
Ray just keeps going, he keeps writing music that connects. This a great album to play while driving!
Well done, Ray!
For me The Best one.
Just fantastic. That whole album.
I absolutely love this guy
I've always loved Ray Davies songs. The man is gifted. It's a rare thing. There's not that many. Bob, Ray, Lennon and a few more.
who's Lennon?
Plus Pete T
A great composition. A nostalgic look back on a stellar career. Also an ode to America... Davis style. Nice backup by the Jay Hawks.
WOW ! One of the Greatest, in Music.
His voice is amazing
Beautiful.
Wow! Great tune.
For an English kid, growing up in the black-and-white aftermath of the Second World War, technicolor America served to raise expectations. And now, in this time when America is embarrassing itself, Ray Davies offers us his dream of America for us to aspire to.
This song is climbing the charts - looks like
a HIT for Sir Ray.
Clue. It's not a place anymore. It's a state of mind. Great song Ray.
Sounds very good to me, Love Ray davies a true British Treasure.
Viva Ray Davies
Ray eres un genio.
He's not lost it! Fabulous.
Ray!
Awesome, Ray. Loved The Kinks, and still love hearing you sing. Great job. Come Dancin', Ape Man, All of The Night.... all great tunes. Historic even. Thumbs up to you.
There you go, Ray.
cool.
My dude! Chills!
Absolutely amazing, hope to see you in concert one day
Just finished dreading his book on our recent trip to Omaha, Memphis, Washington DC and New York. Very interesting
Such a beautiful blend of Saint Ray and the Jayhawks! Not quite sure how I’ve missed this til now! Cheers!
Hi Ray! We luv you! Keep going!
Ya know y'all, Ray is the Knight in the day!
A great soul
Good song !❤
Leonard Cohen is the poet laureate of Canada...Ray Davies poet laureate of UK and USA.
He is a legend of rock !
Hey an ode to baby Brother Dave ;) Gone country
really great
How wonderful!!!!!
Montreal is waiting for you Ray!!!!!!
Loving this....absolute legand!!
I adore this song with it's beautifull lyrics and the great musicians making the music even better than it already is. Thank you all for this great peace of music I already listened to a thousand times or more. Including many other songs of this masterpiece such as "Poetry" and "A Long Drive Home To Tarzana". I can't understand why Americana isn't on pole position in the music charts especially the US ....?! AMERICANA and Ray Davies deserve better, at least I think. Or am I missing something??
Americans just like "shit" music so Ray Davies doesn't qualify ...
I love Ray Davies. Such a great talent. Going to buy all of these.
отлично Рэй !!!! люблю его творчество.......
This is great, and you still have that same cheeky smile - will be investing in this CD for sure :)
Money well spent.
Какой же он уже старый....
😲
а с тех пор уже 5 лет прошло...
ВРЕМЯ НИКОГО НЕ ЩАДИТ
Wouuu!👌
