The Noah's Ark Trap
His 1977 album, six years after the last: ten songs, with a looser guitar and no sleeve notes.
Nic Jones, 1977
The Noah's Ark Trap was released by Trailer in 1977, six years after Nic Jones, with the catalogue number LER 2091 by a Discogs snippet. Its ten tracks are "The Wanton Seed", "Jackie Tar", "Ten Thousand Miles", "The Golden Glove", "The Indian Lass", "Miles Weatherhill", a reel, "Isle of France", "Crockery Ware" and "Annachie Gordon" (6:33). We could not find a producer, studio, personnel or exact date. Alan Murray of fRoots noted that he hasn't bothered to write sleeve notes at all; Toppermost's Andrew Shields hears a Jones bolder in arranging folk songs, with a new looseness in the guitar. His fiddle on the album is credited with influencing Eliza Carthy, who recorded "Ten Thousand Miles" twice; it is the theme of the film Fly Away Home. albumreviews.blog rates it 8 out of 10.
