Steve Knightley
Show of Hands’ inspired frontman Steve Knightley, hailed as one of England’s best songwriters, takes to the road on a solo UK tour from the end of January, showcasing his striking new album Track of Words Retraced.
So called as it revisits Track of Words, his first solo album of a decade ago, this re-recording, perhaps more than any other album, underlines the sheer diversity of Knightley’s songwriting, stripping away the bigger production feel of the original album and investing in a more subtle, acoustic style.
Says Steve: “A decade ago I wanted to put some distance between the essentially big acoustic sound of Show of Hands and the Track of Words project. Ten years on I find myself with a batch of little-known songs but utterly at home with both the genre and the acoustic tools of my trade. It feels like a good moment to revisit it.”
