    Here he redoes his early hits alongside pals like Bruce Springsteen, Billy Corgan, and Spoon.

    A tribute album starring the man of honor himself, who also curated the whole affair, See My Friends is a bit of a curious creature.

    Sadly, See My Friends is mostly embarrassing, pairing Davies with ill-matched partners like Billy Corgan, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and Metallica, who reduce "You Really Got Me" to third-rate bar-band fodder.

    Ok this CD isn't great. Other than the guest appreance by Mumsford and Son which is awesome. However this album did cause me to relook at some of the older Kink's songs and realize just how great a song like "Dead End Street" is. Like most of the artist w/guests albums these days some tracks are pretty good, some are awful. All in all, the best use for this album is to show you that there are some early Kink's songs to look up and give a second chance to. I was hoping that this was going to be a third solo album from Ray. His first two "Other Peoples Lives" and "Working mans cafe" are very good works! Keep the new music coming Ray, the Kink's stuff will hold itself up.… Expand
