Kevin Ayers - New CD For 2007
Nothing fancy and new up to now in January, so I took the time to visit websites from some of my old friends just to make sure that they are still alive. You know, Syd Barrett recently disappeared and I was wondering how his alter-ego from Soft Machine, Kevin Ayers, was in the beginning of 2007.
I have been a fan of this rock dandy member of the College of Pataphysics and old pal of the beautiful Nico since the early-Seventies. Not only because of his work with Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge and David Allen on the first Soft Machine masterpiece but also for his early solo albums who are among the greatest psychedelic records of all time. From Joy Of A Toy (1969) to Bananamour (1972), you’ll find inventive songs that meld great pop/rock songwriting with the prog rock experimentalism of this time. I would like to say more about Kevin Ayers talent and his unique voice but I have to be short. So coming back to 2007, I found that Kevin Ayers is still alive and well and is recording a new album. Hooray. This is what you can read on his website:
"In between recording sessions in New York City, Tucson and London for his new album The Unfairground, co-produced with Gary Olson and Peter Henderson, Kevin Ayers lives in the south west of France and Majorca Spain. He remains to this day true to the ideals which originally formed his unique and influential creativity. Licensing deals for the new album to cover every territory in the world are on the table -- final decisions will be made soon. The release on cd and vinyl is planned for May 2007. Mixing etc. will be done in January."

Also, on May 4th, 2006, Kevin Ayers played an acoustic concert at the Cobden Club in London to an enraptured audience headlining a private benefit concert in support of Rokpa, a registered charity which provides aid for Tibetan culture. Kevin was joined on stage by acoustic soloist Max la Villa -- a very promising pairing which will no doubt see further outings later in the year.
