Had this on a blank dubbed cassette growing up. Part of my DNA now. So soothing. Less intense than his ballades and songs

Genius with a voice.x

Thank you for adding this album. Penguin Eggs is an achievement for the ages, but all of his work is top notch!

Folks who really know great traditional music always look to Nic Jones’s recordings as definitive and unique. We can all trace back the connection to how we were introduced to his music. I’d add Anne Briggs to a short list topped by Nic Jones.

Every second is absolutely wonderful

To my mind and ear, one of the ten best folk albums of all time.

It's a shame that his rights to his own music recordings were stolen and that they just sat deteriorating and decaying... I don't know if he ever got them back. Looking at Mollie Music Shop, I don't think he did. I was delighted that Nic managed a few years back on stage, with Joe and Belinda. He was the only professional artist I ever saw that could get away with singing from a crib sheet. A great entertainer.

For my money this album is his best work.

I waited for Annachie Gordon to be on here for years as a single song and then it appeared but seems to have gone now. It's really annoying. That's by far my favourite.

Most beautiful music I have listened in my life.

a fantastic album - absolutely beautiful. Any chance you could add the track listing to the notes?

I love this man. The road accident changed everything for Nic. I'm so glad he has these beautiful songs and recordings as a testimony to his enormous talent.

I used to think putting this and Devil to a stranger' on you tube was a shitty thing to do;what happens when Nic & Julia get to release it finally? In view of how long we've been waiting and the ever decreasing likelihood of this happening I think you instead. It's been a long time since,good to hear it all again- I wore out three copies!
