Ray Davies--best known as the lead singer and chief songwriter for one of the most prolific and long-lived British Invasion Bands--The Kinks, is one of rock and roll’s most successful and influential songwriters. He recently released his second solo album, Working Man's Cafe, in February 2008. Written by Ray, the album features 12 stunning new songs recorded in Nashville. Ray and his band from the UK have been amazing fans and reviewers worldwide with a sonic intensity worthy of men half his age. Far from settling down, says Davies, "When I get up on stage, I'm just another punk trying to make contact with the world."

We’re Locksley. We listen to just about any music we can. Our first album, Don’t Make Me Wait, has been compared to the music from the 60’s quite a bit, especially the Beatles, a generous compliment by any measure and not inaccurate in our initial aims. The sixties are definitely a jumping off point for us. Everyone needs a jumping off point and that’s ours, because we like good songs, songs that you can just sing while you’re walking around or showering or driving. Songs that you can sing along with, I guess is the point. But we also like music that’s a little bit fast and/or exciting which is why we love the Ramones and the Stooges and Richard Hell and The Strokes and The Rapture and Dr. Dre and Wham and Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson. So, there it is.
