Description
Nic Jones Penguin Eggs LP was first released on Topic Records in June 1980 to great critical acclaim. The album continues to be a mainstay of the Topic Records catalogue, consistently repressed on CD and vinyl, and available digitally, but Nics music has never been released on a single, until now.
The perfect combination of guitar, voice and recording technique, Canadee-I-O is the first track on Penguin Eggs, showcases Nics infectiously rhythmic guitar-style and vocal strength, and his peerless arrangement was used by Bob Dylan when he recorded a version for his 1992 album Good As I Been To You.
The B-side is a song Nic had been playing and singing as The Flanders Shore for some years before this recording; The Flandyke Shore is a mysterious and moving tale of love and loss, given poignancy and depth by Nics unique delivery.
