| I love this dude, anyone else?
If you haven't heard him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4v8VJ0LRgA - Levi Stubbs' Tears
He's been referred to as the 'one man clash' - nice. | |

| I've only heard a few of his albums but so far I like 'Back to Basics' the best.
I've also heard and recommend 'Talking with the taxman about poetry' & 'Don't try this at home'. | |

| Yeah now I want to get that album after hearing that and California Stars. I'm not a big Wilco fan but they have some good songs. | |

| Love Billy
You could pretty much start anywhere and not be disappointed. My particular favourites are "Talking to the taxman ..." and "Workers Playtime", but as I say they're all good.
He reissuing his box sets soon, which bring all his material together (except for his various Peel sessions, surely they are due for a seperate release?)

| Well this is an old topic. But I love Billy Bragg and was going to make a thread and saw there already was one, so didn't want to make a whole new topic on it.
Anyway, Bragg is amazing. And I really love the he did with Wilco.
My favorite Billy Bragg song is Sexuality.
I just got into his music about a month ago, so I only have one album though, which is Must I Paint You A Picture?: The Essential Billy Bragg. | |

| I know I have made my views on The S*n newspaper quite clear on this forum before but this is a great new free download from Billy Bragg that you may want to check out. In addition to the lies told back in 1989 by The S*n it looks as if Rupert Murdoch (owner of the s*n and News International) is under real pressure for yet more lies and this song has been released to coincide to add further pressure. http://www.billybragg.co.uk/sun.php | |
