Take a look at the tracklisting of the Roots - Best of CD on somewhere like their website or Amazon. If you listen to those you'll have most of the more famous Show of Hands songs. Actually I'll paste them here. Disc: 1 1. Roots 2. Are We Alright 3. Exile 4. Country Life 5. Widecombe Fair 6. The Falmouth Packet / Haul Away Joe 7. Santiago 8. Armadas 9. The Blue Cockade 10. Crow on the Cradle 11. The Preacher 12. Cousin Jack 13. Cold Frontier 14. Hard Shoulder 15. Captains 16. The Galway Farmer Disc: 2 1. Columbus (Didn't Find America) 2. You're Mine 3. The Blind Fiddler 4. The Setting / Mary From Dungloe 5. The Bristol Slaver 6. Port Isaac 7. The Train / Blackwaterside 8. Be Lucky 9. Longdog 10. The Keeper 11. The Downeaster 'Alexa' 12. The Oak 13. Innocents' Song / Gwithian 14. Tall Ships I think my favourite of those has to be Tall Ships, which on Roots you get in its 22 minute extended version. Someone who has only ever listened to a couple of Show of Hands songs ever will probably be along later to tell you why you shouldn't like them.
