This is Ray Davies' first new album in 10 years. It follows his acclaimed 2013 memoir of the same name, and uses the book as both source material and jumping off point. Davies wrote and arranged all the music on Americana and co-produced the album with Guy Massey and John Jackson with the Jayhawks serving as Davies' backing band. Americana was recorded in London at Konk Studios, the legendary studio founded by The Kinks in 1973. The album is an autobiographical work, taking inspiration from the vital role America has played in Davies' life over five decades. It also features a number of short spoken-word passages from the memoir. In Davies' own words, \"America is such a big story, a vast landscape, you can get lost in it. It's possible in America to go ahead and have a new start somewhere.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 1 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Americana Davies, Ray 4:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e The Deal Davies, Ray 5:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Poetry Davies, Ray 5:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 2 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Message from the Road Davies, Ray 2:57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e A Place in Your Heart Davies, Ray 5:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e The Mystery Room Davies, Ray 3:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Silent Movie Davies, Ray 1:11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Rock 'N' Roll Cowboys Davies, Ray 4:21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 3 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Change for Change Davies, Ray 3:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e The Man Upstairs Davies, Ray 1:37\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e I've Heard That Beat Before Davies, Ray 4:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e A Long Drive Home to Tarzana Davies, Ray 4:59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 4 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e The Great Highway Davies, Ray 4:43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e The Invaders Davies, Ray 3:47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Wings of Fantasy Davies, Ray 4:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41819814232238,"sku":"889853871018","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/products\/rdamericana.jpg?v=1681334742","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/ray-davies-americana-2lp","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
