Here’s a bit more Nikki Sudden for ya. In the year of 1990, the roving rock’n’roll minstrel spent a few months hanging out in Athens, Georgia with Bill Berry Mike Mills and Peter Buck from R.E.M; they were all huge fans of Nikki’s, and were more than happy to contribute to some recording with him. The resulting album released in 1991 was called The Jewel Thief, or if you were in the USA, it was entitled Liquor, Guns and Ammo. i belong to you is taken from that record, it’s a steel guitar and harmonica laced little number, the singles b-sides Alley Of The Street and Jigsaw Blues don’t appear on the album. Check ‘em all out here!
Really dig this, the more stuff i hear from this guy the more i like him, before coming here i was only aware of the Swell Maps 'Read about Seymour' now i've got quite a few of his albums and they're all top cheers Nuzz.
ReplyDeleteNice post, Nikki put out so much good stuff. I talked to him after a gig one time, he was a real nice guy. Kinda baffled about Americans, but then again so are most of us Amerikans.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that Nikki WFMU show is excellent. Nikki at his engaging, personable best. The female host is, to put it politely…… memorable.
