A Kinky Ray Davies Interview on NPR
NPR has an extensive 40 minute interview with Ray Davies, focusing on his recently released first solo album (which Rolling Stone calls a “masterpiece�)
Most interesting is Ray talking about exploring his musical roots, which eventually led him to move from the England to New Orleans in 2001 and then to his being shot in 2004. He recounts chasing down the man who stole his girlfriend’s purse because “I didn’t feel it was right�, and tells of the look of fear on the man’s face before the trigger was pulled.
Good stuff from the storyteller.
