Ray Davies has revealed that he's sitting on a large stash of unfinished new songs by The Kinks, and that both brother Dave Davies and drummer Mick Avory have contributed to the recordings.
News of a possible collaboration first emerged in 2018, when Ray told Channel 4 that new recordings with Dave and Avory were on the cards. The following year, Dave confirmed that demos had been recorded, and Ray provided Rolling Stone with more detail, saying, “Dave and I are having a collaboration on a few songs, which will be a first. I’ll be like, ‘Here is the chorus, you write verse two.’ I’m trying to keep the energy flowing, and I really want Dave involved creatively."
