Ray Davies, Sufjan Stevens and Band Of Horses stole the show at the 2008 Tibet House benefit concert, held last night (Feb. 13) at New York's Carnegie Hall.
Davies, showing no fatigue from having arrived in New York from London at 4:30 a.m. that day, brought down the house with sing-a-long renditions of the Kinks' "Lola" and "All Day and All of the Night." The latter featured contributions from all of the evening's performers.
Davies also played two newer songs from his solo catalog, "They Ain't Gonna Listen To Me" (about being shot in New Orleans) and "In a Moment," and added a brief a cappella rendition of the Kinks' "Days."

знаете, а я думаю, что они не продались, вон какие лица смущенные на фотке с медведом... вряд ли они понимали, что выступают перед почти президентом...

а мне ужасно жаль, что будет сидячка МДМ, хотя звук там несомненно лучше, чем в Б1... не могу я под такую музыку сидеть =))) и еще будет ужасно жалко, если снова вместо Мартина приедет тетка-скрипачка... билеты в самой кассе МДМ есть?

Ray Davies’ new albumWorking Man’s Café, due Feb. 19, is getting an elaborate sendoff from New West Records. In addition to the single disc version, there will be a Deluxe CD/DVD edition, a digital download edition and also high quality 180g Vinyl.
The single disc, digital download and vinyl editions will all have the following 3 bonus tracks:
1. Angola (Wrong Side of the Law) 2. Vietnam Cowboys (Demo) 3. The Voodoo Walk (Demo)
The Deluxe CD/DVD Edition will have 4 bonus tracks as well:
1. Angola (Wrong Side of the Law) 2. I, Victim (Rough Mix From the Upcoming project called “Ripper”) 3. Vietnam Cowboys (demo) 4. The Voodoo Walk (demo)
And the DVD will include a 20-minute short film titled “Americana: A Work In Progress,” which was filmed and directed by Davies. It features footage from the fall 2001 Storyteller Tour. Ray narrates over the post-9/11 landscape of airports, freeways, hotels, soundchecks and performances, with songs from Working Man’s Café as the soundtrack. It all culminates in New Orleans, the city that inspired many of the songs on the new album.
You can view a video preview of the film at this New West link.
See the brand new January issue of HARP (Mars Volta on the cover) for a full review of the Davies album. Uttered we, in part:
“It isn’t quite the old Ray Davies that turns up on what is technically his second solo album—following the first by only a year—but it’s a more familiar one. Where Other People’s Lives was polished and cautious, Working Man’s Café is sharper and more direct, reaching back to Davies’ most biting social commentary and the pointed wit of prime Kinks days.”
The album rocks like a motherfucker, too.

Meanwhile, all you folks out there dreaming about a Kinks reunion—rumors have recently floated around the Internet about Ray and brother Dave Davies planning to get the band back together—should probably consider waking up now. Last week Davies issued the following statement that appears to be the final word, at least for now.
"Ray and I haven't even spoken in over six months. So not only hasn't a tour been planned, it hasn't even been discussed. I am focused on my solo career right now and that's all I'm concerned with at the moment."
