NIC JONES: Penguin Eggs

£65.00

Possibly one of the best British acoustic folk albums ever made, with music stripped back to what really matters: voice, guitar, and songs that feel like they’ve been lived in for years.

Jones’ playing is intricate without ever sounding fussy, and the singing has that rare quality of feeling both relaxed and completely absorbing. Nothing here is rushed, and nothing needs to be - Jones is a brilliant song interpreter and guitarist.

It’s an album that draws you in quietly and keeps you there without much effort. The arrangements are simple, the storytelling is sharp, and the whole thing has a warmth that never tips into sentimentality.
