Classic

Dave Davies, brother of Ray Davies and father of Russel Davies, was one of the founding members of The Kinks in 1963. He has been the lead guitarist and occasional vocalist till the band stopped playing in 1996 and is part of the lineup reformed in 2018, too.
During the years he has also done some solo projects: some singles in the sixties and a couple of albums in the beginning of the eighties.

Dave Davies is a musician who needs little introduction, as a founder member of legendary rock group The Kinks; his guitar sound, unique style and songwriting has shaped the landscape of rock and pop music across generations. The pioneering rock guitarist singlehandedly changed rock-n-roll when he sliced his little green Elpico amp speaker with a razor blade, creating the first heavy metal guitar tone and riff. This revolutionary guitar sound propelled the Kinks into stardom with the global smash hits You Really Got Me and All Day and All of the Night, followed by numerous other classics over the next decades. Davies’ music is as relevant today as it was in the 60s, having released in recent years several critical acclaimed albums on Red River Entertainment. After decisively solving the riddle of the first “great lost Dave Davies solo album”, fully documented at last in the magnificent Hidden Treasures CD, we now have what should have been its sequel: Decade. Fans often wondered why Dave seemed to have taken break from songwriting for much of the ‘70s, but the assumption was inaccurate. Years prior to the issue of Dave’s first “proper” solo album, 1980’s AFL1-3603, Dave was working on the fascinating tracks that make up this new compilation. The tapes were unearthed by his sons Simon and Martin from “under beds, in attics, in storage”, and properly mixed and mastered in a way that lets these songs shimmer and shine even brighter than they did at inception. Any album recorded over the span of 10 years runs the risk of ending up wildly erratic in tone and style, and yet, Dave’s Decade is surprisingly cohesive, the songs working together beautifully as songs on great albums do.
