by Anti- Music

Billy Bragg has released another song for download. Following his recent signing with Anti- Records and the release of "Bush War Blues," the British folk-punk-rocker has put "The Lonesome Death of Rachel Corrie" up at the Guardian for download.

Rachel Corrie went to Gaza to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinians, whose voice is seldom heard in her country, the US. That she herself should be silenced - first by an Israeli bulldozer, next by a New York theatre cancelling a play created from her words - is a testimony to the power of her message.

The song is available here and is based on a tune by Bob Dylan.

Bragg was a Punknews.org Mp3 of the Week pick last week.
