Synopsis

Album Description
Nikki Sudden, born Adrian Godfrey in 1956, died in New York on the night of March 26, 2006 after playing a concert at the end of a tour of the USA. As a traveling troubadour and prolific songwriter he continued to record and tour regularly until his untimely end. This is Nikki Sudden's final album. Completed just a week before he left for his final American tour in March of 2006, and this is the best album Nikki has made in over 20 years. Recorded in Berlin in the latter months of 2005, it was made on a steady diet of later period Marc Bolan glam, Rolling Stones' honky blues, Bobby Womack's soiled R&B and '70s disco. The songs reflect the flamboyance and wonderful character of a man who seems to have come from another time, a poet whose passion for the written word and delight in its expression in multiple forms was his life's dedication. This album is a celebration of music and friendship, and just seeps with Nikki's love for life.
 

CD Reviews

Nikki's final album may be his best
Michael Toland | Austin, TX USA | 12/17/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"On the edge of turning 50, Nikki Sudden gathers strength from the past and looks into the future with what turned out to be his final album. It's a great mixture of his idols - Bob Dylan, T. Rex, the Stones, the Faces - but he's not aping his heroes so much as he's distilling them down to a fine wine and offering it to us to drink. Folk, glam and even some disco add spice to the good ol' rock & roll that's always been Sudden's stock in trade. This is the album to which his entire career had been leading, and it's a thrice-cursed tragedy that it was his last."
