Nikki Sudden was a prolific English singer-songwriter and guitarist who co-founded the post-punk band Swell Maps with his brother Epic Soundtracks. His sound owes a lot to the classic rock pantheon- Neil Young, T Rex, and the Rolling Stones. He recorded under various monikers including the Jacobites and The French Revolution. He died of a heart attack in his sleep after a concert in 2006. Here's his version of Neil Young's Captain Kennedy from The Bridge-A Tribute to Neil Young. The song was originally released on Neil Young's little known 1980 album Hawkes and Doves.
