 Ray
Plays in Nashville tonight:
“I live about a mile and a half from a place called Camden which has several markets,” Davies
said. “There’s a great store in there that has lots of country
music, the old country music. I love that
stuff.” From an interview with The
CityPaper, Nashville. |

Ray
Plays in Nashville tonight:
"inspired by characters who live probably 100 yards near
me." |
From local newspaper in
Nashville , Tennessean.com,
Ray comments on his local view. - "Whatever sonic disconnect folks might see there can be shored up by Davies' lyrical approach; much like those country greats, his lyrical focus is on storytelling, with a particular eye on the lives of regular folks.
Davies said all of his songs are "inspired by characters who live probably 100 yards near me."
"It's very localized. But it also picks up on that kind of wistful and ironic sort of facets of English culture. You know, English people are a little bit wistful and mundane, and I like the people that have little quirks in their lives and lower-achieving people. I think they're worth writing about." |
