Kinks reunion?

Davies won't rule it out
22 Feb 06 - Kinks legend Ray Davies released his long-awaited debut solo album this week, and hinted he hasn't ruled out a Kinks reunion.

Other People's Lives was written, produced and arranged by the veteran musician, and recorded at London's Konk Studios.

Speaking to Radio 4's Front Row, Ray told them it's not easy recording as a solo artist - especially after being part of such a legendary group:

"It's finding a voice after spending most of my life in a band called The Kinks, a wonderful band, I love all the work I've done with them, I hope to do more one day, who knows."
I love all the work I've done with them, I hope to do more one day.

Ray Davies 
 

He continued:

"I'm not sure, but I did have to find a voice because of being part of that machinery, the technology, the sound, I was part of the sound."

Don't believe all you read in headlines about a KinKs Reunion...not yet anyway. It is still a possiblity but according to Dave Davies himself and he stated only a few days ago..." me and Ray have not even seen each other for a month or so. I have been really busy on "Mystical Journey" and Ray has been busy on his show n stuff. there is so much to sort out before we can even open a guitar case-we have exchanged a few emails but they are all mainly business things " As fans and supporters of the KinKs, Dave and Ray, The important thing to remember is that we want the Kinks back only if for the right reasons and BOTH Ray and Dave want it equally...and new material is brought to the table. A reunited KinKs just for the sake of the fans and just for oldies and nostalgia sake would not be a good thing for anyone. The KinKs music has been and remains too important to have it reduced to that level. God Save the KinKs, KinKdom, Ray and Dave, and everything they have meant to us and to the world of music! - Frank Lima, The Montvale, New Jersey Hillbilly Boy aka Dan the Fan
