Treasure Island

Treasure Island is a stunning achievement, boasting Sudden's best songwriting in twenty years. "In true pirate tradition [Treasure Island] nails its colours firmly to the mast. Sure, there's a powerful Stones influence on "House of Cards", but it's Mick Taylor himself guesting on guitar; and if elsewhere there's an enthusiastic nod in the direction of The Faces, well, yep, that's Ian McLagan on keyboards. BJ Cole and ex-Waterboy Anthony Thistlewaite show up on pedal steel and sax, and there's even a female choir. Despite the star guests, it's always Nikki's album - one part Bolan swagger to two parts Keith Richards riffs - and it's one of his best." - Mojo The album boasts incredible guest performances from rock & roll hall of famers Ian McLagan (the Small Faces, the Faces, Billy Bragg) and Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers), as well as Terry Miles (Bernard Butler), Dave Kusworth (Jacobites), and Anthony Thistlethwaite (the Waterboys).
