Let's Get Together. Or Not.

Ray Davies and ...
Since the prospects of a reunion of The Kinks don't appear to be particularly good, lead singer-songwriter Ray Davies is busy working on performing classic Kinks material with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, The Killers and Lucinda Williams, each of whom have signed on to perform Kinks songs with Davies on an upcoming album. At last year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concerts, Davies performed a couple of Kinks tunes with Metallica, who may also wind up on the album, due in late 2010. Davies is also working on a solo album, and still hoping for a Kinks reunion.

Roger Daltrey and ...
Just as he begins a series of dates with Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey says he'd like to pair up with Jimmy Page, too. Referring to his resume prior to joining The Who, Daltrey tells Rolling Stone that he thinks he'd do a fine job singing the blues with the ex-Led Zeppelin guitarist.

Hedging Their Bets?
With Robert Plant uninterested in a Led Zep reunion, Page may well be in the market for a vocalist to partner with on a more or less regular basis. And with Pete Townshend's chronic hearing problems threatening to jeopardize The Who's future performing possibilities, Daltrey, too, appears to be actively developing a Plan B. A guitarist without a vocalist and a vocalist without a guitarist. Presents some interesting possibilities, doesn't it?
