Description:This mature work of a brilliant song-interpreter and guitarist, packed with fresh songs and novel settings, is rendered all the more valuable by the scarcity of his recordings.

"Penguin Eggs" is a landmark folk album by the acclaimed English singer and guitarist Nic Jones, released in 1980 on CD format by Topic Records. This collection features masterful interpretations of traditional British folk songs, brought to life through Jones's intricate fingerstyle guitar work and evocative vocals. The album includes standout tracks such as "Canadee-I-O," "The Little Pot Stove," and "Farewell to the Gold." Widely regarded as one of the greatest British folk albums ever recorded, "Penguin Eggs" has influenced generations of musicians with its innovative arrangements and heartfelt storytelling. Nic Jones is celebrated for his unique approach to traditional music, blending technical virtuosity with deep emotional resonance. Before a tragic car accident curtailed his performing career in 1982, he had established himself as one of Britain's foremost interpreters of folk song. His earlier works include critically acclaimed albums like "Ballads & Songs" (1970) and "Noah's Ark Trap" (1977). Despite adversity, his legacy endures through reissues and tributes from fellow artists. Topic Records is one of the oldest independent record labels in the world, founded in 1939 in England. Renowned for its dedication to preserving and promoting traditional music from Britain and beyond, Topic has played an instrumental role in shaping the modern folk revival movement. Their catalog boasts releases from legendary artists such as Ewan MacColl, Shirley Collins, June Tabor, Martin Carthy?and Nic Jones himself?making them a cornerstone institution within global roots music.
