Lie of the Land
''Lie Of The Land'' is the fifth studio album by English acoustic roots duo Show of Hands. It was released in 1995 by Isis Records, and later the band's own label Hands on Music re-released the album.
Following the live band setting of the band's previous album, 1994's ''Beat about the Bush'', the duo sought a simpler sound that featured just themselves, with the duo trying to capture their live sound. The album was produced by Gerard O'Farrell, who by this point had become the band's manager, and recorded in July 1995. The album was a turning point for the band, featuring major press attention from magazines such as ''Mojo'' and ''Q'', the latter naming it "folk album of the year".〔http://www.showofhands.co.uk/about/show-of-hands-full-biog/〕 Oldies.com note that the album was "considered one of that year’s finest folk releases."〔http://www.oldies.com/artist-biography/Show-Of-Hands.html〕
==Background==
After folk musician Phil Beer left The Albion Band in late 1990, it allowed he and Steve Knightley to treat their project Show of Hands as a full-time musical collaboration.〔http://www.oldies.com/artist-biography/Show-Of-Hands.html〕 Show of Hands' work prior to Beer's departure from The Albion Band consisted of two albums, ''Show of Hands'' (1987) and ''Tall Ships'' (1990). The newly prioritised Show of Hands recorded ''Out for the Count'' at The Old Court in 1991, and released it on cassette that year, sold at the band's live performances.〔''Backlog 1987–1991'' liner notes〕 The duo briefly entered a hiatus as Show of Hands to allow to form the Anglo-Chilean band Alianza with Dave Townsend with three Chilean musicians, exploring world music. They released a self-titled album in 1992, becoming Knightley and Beer's first CD release. Following the Alianza project, the duo returned as Show of Hands, releasing an extended play CD in 1993, and with engineer Mike Trim, recorded a performance of Show of Hands from 8 June 1992 at Bridport's Bull Hotel, and released it on TWAH! Records in 1994 as ''Show of Hands Live'', the duo's first CD, but by the time of its release, the band's previous three albums were out of print.〔''Roots: The Best of Show of Hands'' liner notes〕
The duo recorded their first, and only, studio album for TWAH! Records, ''Beat about the Bush'', in January 1994, and it was released the following month. Produced by Trim, due to his successful work on ''Show of Hands Live'', he and the duo aimed for an "elusive "radio friendly" folk/roots album that retained the band's live sound whilst adding a rhythm section.〔''Roots: The Best of Show of Hands'' liner notes.〕 Whilst the album did not attract much radio attention as the duo had wanted,〔''Roots: The Best of Show of Hands'' liner notes〕 it helped make the duo more popular and built upon their fan base. The duo left TWAH! Records and signed to Isis Records, the label which saw the original release of ''Lie of the Land''.
