Folk Music is the seventh studio album by English acoustic roots duo Show of Hands.
[1] Steve Knightley of the duo noted that as a result of the success of the performance, "it's easier to get in local papers.
Whilst very much a critical success, the single released from the album, "Crazy Boy", commercially underperformed.
The duo decided to release a limited edition album of the band's renditions of traditional folk music to "connect them to their roots".
In February 2015, after sixteen years of unavailability, the band re-released Folk Music as a free download to anyone who subscribed to their mailing list.
All tracks are traditional arrangements of folk songs by Steve Knightley and Phil Beer, except where noted.
