JON ULECIA DEBUT ALBUM ON THE WORKS!
2008 will see the release of Jon Ulecia & Cantina Bizarro debut album, tentatively titled "Last Night Dream". All songs are already recorded and mastered, and it is expected to be released soon after Joey Skidmore's new album on Sunthunder Records.
Having officially released just one song (on Sunthunder's Nikki Sudden tribute), now it is the time for this superb band from Pamplona, Spain, to leave you breathless after listening to the tracks on the album. Better not trying to catalog their music, just take a look at their MySpace and listen to some songs. One of the most elegant and creative bands that have recently appeared, indeed.
Good Nikki Sudden tribute critics on Popular 1 and Rock'n Reel magazines
"Little more than a year after the lamentable passing of this most inspirational, influential troubadour comes this tribute to the one time Swell Map and Jacobite. Widely ignored in his homeland, Sudden released records combining his love of T-Rex, Johnny Thunders and Stones-y balladeering largely on small independents, including the then tiny Creation, whilst setting in various European residences like an itinerant court of old, unwittingly influencing now-huge artists like REM and WILCO.
The Secretly Canadian label had been releasing superb reissues of his 80s work and his collection should help further his name and rich tapestry of legacies. Endorsey by his parents and featuring Jacobite partner Dave Kusworth's renovation of "Big Store", as well as Barracuda front man Jeremy Gluck's sensitive reading of "Silver street" for the finale, this is as respectful as you can get. Though staying true the originals, all twenty-one tracks are worthy hattipping, crushed velvet tributes and Nikki himself appears on Joey Skidmore's "Pistol in my pocket" and French rocker Freddy Lynxx's jam on "Bye Bye Johnny".
However predictable his demise may have been said to have been, in some quarters, it's still untimely at age fifty for such a productive artist, who really did embody the old romantic image of wandering minstrel in his songs full of brocade, silk scarves, heartbreak and stately grandeur - that these versions fully testify to." Stu Gibson, R'n'Reel Mag.
"Very few personalities deserved a tribute as much as the late Nikki Sudden. Incombustible man, half rocker, half troubadour, he was with his guitar there where it was required living like a true r'n'r gypsy, composing dozens of beautiful songs gifted with that melancholic mood provided by his nasal voice, that many people hate but we do adore. With Dave Kusworth and their band named Jacobites, they released one of the best albums ever, the painful "Robespierre's Velvet Basement" in 1985. People from Sunthunder Records now release "Suddenly yours", one of the best tribute albums I remember. It is obvious that they have done it with enormous affection and enthusiasm, you just have to take a look at the carefully done layout and the right selection of songs that review all his career. Highlighting from the 21 tracks in the cd: "Last bandit" by Johan Asherton, "Broken tooth" by Los Tupper, "When angels die" by Elliott Murphy, "Bye bye Johnny", this one of the many songs that great french guitarist Freddy Lynxx (known for his Johnny Thunders fanaticism) recorded with Sudden during his life, "Pistol in my pocket" by Joey Skidmore, written and sang with Sudden too, or the incendiary revision of "Big store" by Dave Kusworth, where guitars just simply are on fire." Charly'90, Popular 1.
