Billy Bragg stands with one foot in the American dustbowl
of Woody Guthrie and one in the anarchy of British punk.
His music is a revelation: the power and fury of punk transmitted

His songs address social injustices, workers' plights, war,
and affairs of the heart with equal aplomb, as demonstrated
on the chart-topping hit single 'She's Leaving Home' |
