Show Of Hands - Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A terrific album

I have somehow managed to miss out on Show Of Hands in the past, but I am very glad that I have discovered them now. This is a terrific album.

The material is a mixture of traditional and modern, some self-written, and it’s all excellent. From the quiet, haunting ballads via a great cover of Dylan’s Senor to the angry protest of the title track, the musicianship is top-class and it’s a pleasure to listen to throughout. It’s also a pleasure to find genuine, sincere political protest expressed in first-rate songs which are anything but a chore to listen to. Very warmly recommended.
