Dave Davies – Glamour

David Russell Gordon Davies (/ˈdeɪviːz/ DAY-veez; born 3 February 1947) is an English guitarist, singer and songwriter. He was the lead guitarist and backing vocalist for the English rock band the Kinks, lead by his older brother (and principal writer and singer) Ray. Davies also sometimes undertook writing and/or lead vocals duties within the band, for example on songs such as “Death of a Clown”, “Party Line”, “Strangers” and “Rats”. He has also embarked on a solo career, releasing several singles during the late 1960s and has since released eight solo albums.

Davies is prolific with his innovative nature on the electric guitar, specifically in being one of the first to use electric guitar distortion and exposing the effect to the mainstream. His signature distorted power chord riffs on songs would heavily influence future heavy metal and punk rock acts. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 as a member of the Kinks and, in 2003, was ranked 91st in Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”.

Glamour is het tweede studio album van Dave Davies uit 1981. US Billboard No. 152.
