Dave Davies will release a new album entitled Open Road on March 31st.
The LP is the result of an in-studio collaboration with his son Russ, and is being led off with Path Is Long. “Working with my son was a delight and he made me realize a lot about myself,” the former Kinks guitarist says. “I feel an almost strange magnetic loving energy pervading through the whole work. I found it very demanding emotionally and I wanted it to have integrity.”
“Even though Russ is my son we happened to both gel with the ideals, stories and motives of the work; the honesty, the purity of it, and its deceptive simplicity and wonder of it.”
“Working with Dave is a fluid process and we both seem to share some kind of psychic connection and understanding of how the song is forming and where we want it to go,” Russ concurs.
