Resource note
A voice within another songwriter’s record
This Resource entry documents a collaboration connected with Bill Shanley’s solo album Midnight Mission. The record included “Graceville (I’ll Take You There),” a song carrying vocal and lyric contributions from Ray Davies.
Originally announced alongside the album’s availability, the item is retained here as release-era context rather than as a current sales or promotional notice. It offers a concise reference point for a contribution that sits outside the main album catalogue while remaining part of the wider recorded history.
The collaboration is best understood as a focused guest appearance: a shared song credit and vocal presence within Shanley’s own album sequence.
Midnight Mission belongs to the independent record of work surrounding Shanley’s songwriting and recording practice. For readers tracing Ray Davies’s later contributions, “Graceville (I’ll Take You There)” provides a useful example of a guest role in a project led by another artist.
As with other material in this Resource, this page does not function as an official release announcement. It is an editorial reference assembled to keep the public record legible after the original campaign period has passed.
