His first official solo album was released in February 2006. Recognized for his contributions to the arts, Davies was awarded a knighthood in the 2017 New Year Honours.

Experience the brilliance of *Ray Davies*'s solo work as well as his iconic contributions to The Kinks' discography. Discover timeless classics and delve into the narrative world created by this influential artist.

Ray Davies of the Kinks, well-respected as one of rock's best storytellers, makes his filmmaking debut as director, writer and composer of Return To Waterloo. This hour long feature is a unique approach to the synthesis of music, video and cinema. Instead of dialogue, the story is told through music and lyrics. The haunting songs, unavailable on any Kinks album, take renowned actor Ken Colley on a suspenseful journey through his imagination, as he confronts reality and fantasy, love and violence. Also starring Valerie Holliman, Dominique Barnes, Tim Roth and (briefly) Ray Davies himself. This film, a cult classic, is a watershed event in the development of the music video art form, as it was created for itself rather than to promote a record; not a concert, not a grouping of promo videos, this is a real movie and an impressive directorial debut.
