The Truth Doesn't Matter is Nikki Sudden's final album. Completed just a week before he left for his final American tour in March of 2006, there could not be a more perfect swan song for a man whose personal life and rock & roll life knew no boundaries. If Nikki's 49 well-lived years and 30+ years making music publicly could be summed up in any way, shape or form, it was in the two documents he had under his arm - one compact disc and one manuscript. With all sentimentality aside, we will say that The Truth Doesn't Matter is the best album Nikki has made in over 20 years. Recorded in Berlin in the latter months of 2005, it was made on a steady diet of later period Marc Bolan glam, Rolling Stones' honky blues, Bobby Womack's soiled R&B, and '70s disco comps (with some repeated Isley Brothers doses). While the fifteen tracks on the album show these influences, more than anything, they reflect the flamboyance and wonderful character of a man who seems to have come from another time - a poet whose passion for the written word and delight in its expression in multiple forms was his life's dedication. This album is a celebration of music and friendship, and just seeps with Nikki's love for life. Listen carefully and you may hear the hoofbeats approaching in this poet's head on album closer "All This Buttoning and Unbuttoning".
