Corgan remakes Kinks’ “Destroyer” with Ray Davies 3:57 pm // Wednesday, August 25, 2010

For a forthcoming album on which he re-records many of his great Kinks hits, Ray Davies has worked with Bruce Springsteen, Black Francis, Bon Jovi, Spoon, Alex Chilton, and others. A blog post written by Kerry Brown last night suggests that Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan is also taking part:
Billy was in this week to record a track for Ray Davies the two of them are collaborating on a remake of Destroyer: Mr. Mark Tulin from The Electric Prunes played bass and Kevin Dippold engineered the track.
“Destroyer” — itself a bit of a remake, as it incorporates the riff from the Kinks’ “All Day and All of the Night,” which Zwan covered several times on its April 2002 tour of the Midwest — was a U.S. hit for the Kinks in 1981.

ever since Ray announced he wanted to do this project, I was hoping Billy would get involved with it. It also seemed like a slight when Billy wasn’t announced originally as being a part of this (almost like everyone forgot about him and in a way, I guess they did as Billy said in that facebook interview, that the phone’s been ringing off the hook since this last tour started). Too bad the song isn’t Waterloo Sunset…
Sweet. Frank Black, too!
Awesome!
