Nic Jones

Penguin Eggs


nic jones is one of the finest folk musicians and singers that england has ever produced his lyrical style of singing and his percussive and rhythmic guitar playing has been wildly imitated but never equalled 'penguin eggs' is widely regarded as his best album it consists of traditional english folk songs and what tremendous songs they are each song tells a story and due to the skill of these forgotten songwriters each song is a minor masterpiece of story telling there are the usual stories one finds in folk music crossdressing on a sailing ship having your money and clothes stolen by a prostitute while on shore leave the perils of hunting whales on the high seas and the usual spate of jealous murders the quality of the lyric writing is masterly the tunes strong and melodic and the arrangements clear and uncluttered
