Ray Davies - See My Friends (Audio CD - 2011)

Ray Davies' influence is so pervasive he could rope in a number of heavy hitters from a number of different generations. Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen sign up for duets; Metallica backs the legend on a rip through "†You Really Got Me,†" while Spoon offers suitably spacy support on "†See My Friends†"; Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora harmonize on a languid "†Celluloid Heroes,†" and Black Francis comes in to sing "†This Is Where I Belong,†" a song he covered with gusto some 16 years earlier. As it turns out, "†This Is Where I Belong†" provides a good indication of the energy level of See My Friends in general: the older dudes are comfortable playing with Ray while the newer dudes are respectful, delivering amiably mannered performances.
