My girlfriend calls it old people music; I call it brilliant. Old-school punk/folk troubadour Billy Bragg dropped Mr. Love and Justice this week, and while his style has mellowed out since 1983’s Life’s a Riot with Spy vs. Spy, there’s no denying him his place among the best rock lyricists. Bragg has always walked a line between the personal and the political, and Mr. Love and Justice is just that. While the record tends to steer towards accounts about fidelity, Bragg still finds time for a socio-political jab here and there.

congrats on the staff add Jelone. too bad you're a HACK i'm a huge fam of mr. bragg... but it makes me sick to the stomach hearing him talk about being a 'progressive patriot'. year on year he seems to be becoming more and more regressive and conservative, yet he would still call himself a socialist... score is for any incarnation of patriotism This is a really laid back and mellow album. Great for a Sunday afternoon with a cuppa. Fucked Up is stoked. everything billy bragg does is good It's alright. I was hoping for more, but it's decent. Thanks for reviewing this carefully. Billy Bragg is to be respected, at the very least, and I was very pleased with this record. Billy Bragg is amazing/brilliant/insert other positive terms. Score is for tracks 4 and 5 on this album as well as the man himself. |
