Ray Davies - The Kinks Choral Collection
With his witty observations on English culture, Ray Davies is revered as Brit-rock’s poet laureate. In fact, Ray’s contributions recently led to him being named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Now the former Kinks leader is getting the choral treatment, as London’s Crouch End Festival Chorus join him on many of his best songs. Adorned by 55 soaring voices, “Waterloo Sunset” is transformed into a moving rock opera, while classic rockers like “You Really Got Me” become surprisingly hymn-like.
