For the first time, though, the album includes his touring band as well as contributions from British singer Leona Naess. Ray had this to say about the new approach: "It was time to open up a little bit more, not be quite so reserved in my choice of songs that I wanted to record."
So far, there are 12 dates, kicking-off at York's Opera House on 7th February and culminating in Bristol on 21st February 2009, with a double London Barbican date on 15th and 16th February. Nothing on the 14th February, so presumably, he's keeping Valentine's day clear for a romantic soiree with Meg White?...
Tickets for the February tour go on sale on Weds 15th October at 9AM.
