Description
The hotly anticipated, acutely topical studio album from England's finest roots duo, produced by Stu Hanna and featuring nine new Steve Knightley songs.
Right on the money, Arrogance Ignorance and Greed - the hotly anticipated new studio recording from Show of Hands - is an acutely topical "album for its time".
The 20th release from the phenomenally popular pairing of Steve Knightley and Phil Beer unveils nine new songs from the mighty Knightley pen, spearheaded by a fervent title track that potently captures the mood of the moment as we speed towards the first anniversary of the global bank crash.
The 13-track album, produced by Megson's in-demand Stu Hanna is showcased on a 37-date County Towns tour. Dark, stark songs contrast with flourishing production numbers and Dylan and Gabriel covers while they reinforce their folk roots with two of the tradition's most haunting songs - Lowlands Away and a blisteringly uptempo arrangement of The Keys of Canterbury, featuring superb playing by 2009 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards "Musician of the Year" nominee Beer.
Significant original tracks range from The Napoli, a song about looters scurrying for rich pickings on the Devon coast to the soul-searching "The Man I Was" and the explosive "IED". Guest musicians include Mawkin:Causley's Jim Causley and Dave and James Delarre; Miranda Sykes, Matt Clifford, Jackie Oates and Andy Tween on percussion and cajón.
