I agree with the previous reviewer, this CD is a gem. It sums up so much that is important to me - music, the West Country, the sea, musicians with skill and integrity. I work outside of the UK and carry copies of this CD everywhere I go, to keep up my spirits and to give as gifts. Copies have be left behind in Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Sweden, Montenegro, Australia and Croatia, in bars and for friends. Recently, I sat at an outside bar in Dubrovnik, Croatia, over looking the Adriatic sea as I drank a cold beer. The Path played in the background, as the sun set and I hoped that the beautiful music was carrying as far away as Italy on the other side of the sea. Two days before, another copy had played in an Irish bar in Podgorica, Montenegro as I enjoyed a glass of stout. The Path reminds me of travelling and of being home, and proves that even without Steve Knightley's superb, challenging lyrics, Show of Hands are still 'as good as it gets'.
