Folk Music (album)

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.

Steve Knightley of the duo ( pictured in 2009 ) found the album successfully connected them to their roots.
