THE BOY FROM NOWHERE
Nikki SUDDEN
- Ref. XS908T
- TROUBADOUR, 2013. Enregistrement 1984-2006.
Nikki Sudden's prolific musical career came to an end in March 2006 when the singer sadly died from a heart attack following a show in Manhattan at the age of just 49. It seems appropriate that Sudden went out on the road, for music had been his all-consuming passion; he toured incessantly and probably would have considered it a fitting way in which to say goodbye. The man born as Adrian Godfrey first came to prominence in the late seventies when he formed the punk band Swell Maps with his brother Epic Soundtracks (who himself died in November 1997) and on the band's demise in 1980 he went on to release over twenty solo albums on labels as diverse as Creation, Glass and Trident as well as making a number of recordings with Dave Kusworth under the banner of the Jacobites. This new six CD collection, limited to a run of just 2,000, has been four years in the making, lovingly compiled by former label boss Carlton Sandercock, and is housed in a neat box containing a thick booklet of notes on the artist and the story of how the songs were gathered together.
