Ray Davies Ready for Kinks Reunion!

Some promising news on the Kinks: Singer Ray Davies says he's stoked about the possibility of a reunion. Davies admits there are a few hurdles to jump before any definite plans are made, including his brother Dave's health (he had a stroke in 2004, which may hinder his guitar skills), and their ability to write new songs.

"There is a desire to do it, but the thing that would make me decide yes or no would be whether or not we could do new songs, even if it's four or five," said Davies. "My pitch to the other guys -- because I'm really for it -- was what would we have written if we hadn't have had our first hit, 'You Really Got Me?' I think new work is important for artists as they mature and get older."

seen ray solo twice and was great both times. Would love to see the whole band but it just wouldn't be the same as in their stadium rock days.

Saw Ray last nite in Orlando, I was especially pleased at his sound, he looked good as well, also like how he gave his brother his props!

God, I hope there's a Kinks reunion. They will always be one of my favorites. Long live Ray Davies.
