Nicky - Wake Up

| Nicky - Wake Up |
Another mysterious one here as
Swedish chap Nicky is a little hard to track down on that old internet. 'Wake
Up' however is easy to find (largely because I'm bringing it to you and ramming
it down your throat) and when you find it you'll see that it's a slice of
gorgeous, bitter-sweet country-folk with a modern, dark approach. Nicky's voice
is somewhere between Cash and Cave but looks wise he is a purple haired elf
adrift on a lake of uncertainty. The simple, pure acoustic melody with skiffle
inspired rhythm are perfect for a song that is full of hope and despair in
equal measure, especially considering Nicky's voice is so wonderfully rich but
dark - like a treacle pudding with extra treacle. If Nicky really does live in
a cave and has minimal internet presence then it's alright by me as long as he
emerges once in a while to share a gem like this with the world.
