Ray Davies Assembles All-Star Ensemble For New Album

Ray Davies has a new disc in the works, and a star-studded cast of rock and rollers will be lending a hand to the former Kinks frontman.

Davies' new album, currently without a title, will feature cameos from Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, among others. Singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams and Big Star's late Alex Chilton are also contributors, according to Davies' official Web site. So far other information is scarce, although reports say that Davies is aiming to drop the disc before the end of the year.

Pixies singer Frank Black and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan are also expected to help out on the disc.
