SHOW OF HANDS - Roots, The Best of… |
||||
I know I’ve not been alone in hoping that this duo would get around to gathering together a collection such as this. Long overdue comes nowhere near describing it. Here are two performers at the top of their game, nominated in two categories in the recent Folk Awards, past winners of Best Live Act in 2004, and capable of selling out the Albert Hall on occasions also! Four tracks are specially re-recorded for this package, including a stunning new version of Are We Alright. The famous 22 minute long Tall Ships is also included, originally tape only, from the cassette of the same name sold at their early gigs – the seeds of the since honed SOH are germinated here with pride. Steve Knightley’s progress as a songwriter of flair and substance can be charted over these two CDs, from the early club dates to the triumphant Roots (nominated at last year’s Awards, and considered a modern classic). |
