| | Billy Bragg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Billy Bragg has long enjoyed a close relationship with grass-roots political movements and this is often reflected in his original lyrics and music. | | | Bragg continued to promote the album with his backing band the Red Stars, which included his Riff-Raff colleague and longtime roadie, Wiggy. | | | A rift with Wilco over mixing and sequencing of the album led to Bragg recruiting his own band, the Blokes, to promote the album. |

| | PopPolitics.com - Love of Labor |
| | Both Bragg and Guthrie mined their respective traditions of protests songs; for Bragg it was nascent punk and the radical folk tradition, while for Guthrie the spare hillbilly blues or the narrative ballad often formed the basis for his songs. | | | Bragg had frequently flirted with the kind of radical folk of Bailey and Gaughan, though at the same time he never denied his debt to punk rock. | | | Bragg’s labor songs and narratives made him the ideal choice to interpret the large unrecorded catalog of work left by the legendary Woody Guthrie. |

| | Billy Bragg |
| | Billy Bragg has been more successful with his music, and his long-winded stories in concert are almost as entertaining, and equally as pointed, as the songs he performs. | | | Taught guitar by his next door neighbour, Bragg's first band Riff Raff was inspired by punk rockers like The Clash. | | | They were songs that had never been recorded, the music lost forever when Guthrie died in 1967. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Must I Paint You a Picture - The Essential Billy Bragg [Box set]: Music |
| | It says a lot for Billy Bragg's individual approach to pop music that I sat down to listen to this three disc CD of his "Best Of" not only NOT to hear his only number one single, but not even EXPECTING it to be on the collection. | | | It's the Billy Bragg I spent my late teens listening to - angry, ironic, lyrics, stripped-down music and an almost visceral reaction to the debris of the Thatcher years. | | | This disc shows Bragg's mainstream acceptance as something of a pop oddity, and has some astonishingly good songs that the old-style Bragg fans who tuned out after "Talking With The Taxman About Poetry" may have missed first time round. |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Billy Bragg |
| | At the nadir of this deeply disappointing album, Bragg croons the soul ballad "Wish You Were Her" in an unrecognizable falsetto. | | | Playing a solitary electric guitar and singing his pithy compositions in a gruff voice, Billy Bragg reintroduced the essence of folksinging — not the superficial trappings, but the died-in-red-wool Woody Guthrie activist/adventurer archetype — to the modern rock world. | | | A live EP of "Accident Waiting to Happen," "North Sea Bubble" and two older songs followed the album, but it was four years before Bragg would again tour the US, and he made it to '96 before delivering a new record. |

| | When you first heard that Billy Bragg and Wilco were teaming up to set some Woody Guthrie lyrics to music, you knew it'd be an interesting project. | | | Billy Bragg uses Woody's more political lyrics, and Wilco uses his more emotional and visual stuff. | | | Bragg and Tweedy collaborate seamlessly to set to music the words that Guthrie wrote over 50 years ago, and it still sounds fresh today. |

| | Review: Billy Bragg's Workers' Playtime |
| | What Billy does is politicize the life of the common man with acoustic guitar-based tunes and wavering vocals that never loose the edgy English accent. | | | Billy's music brings to the fore the values of socialism vs. capitalism. | | | I probably never would have tracked this album down if I hadn't heard a cover of "The Only One" hidden on a friend's Mucky Pup CD (thanks, Brooks). |

| | Rolling Stone : Billy Bragg Gets Boxed |
| | Life's a Riot, for example, is accompanied by extras that show Bragg's transition from singer in the punk band Riff Raff to solo performer, armed only with his electric guitar, Cockney accent and sharp wit. | | | The music documents Bragg's rise from a singer-songwriter to the full-fledged political activist who helped form a coalition of left-leaning pop stars called Red Wedge. | | | Another way of marking the progress of Bragg's career, however, will arrive February 21st, with the release of Volume I, a nine-disc box set that includes four of the British punk-folk singer's early releases, plus a pair of live DVDs. |

| | Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg and Wilco |
| | For a year lyrics and demos were sent back and forth to London, Billy's home town, until an initial selection of songs was made. | | | Although he had come out of a punk rock background, he could sing along with the country western singers, the folkies and just about everyone else that appeared in the show. | | | Songs that would expand Woody's "historical" personae and give him a vehicle that, as a 20th century songwriter, was as yet unexplored. |

| | Ink 19 :: Billy Bragg |
| | Bragg assured his audience that it was OK if they just came to hearthe love songs and "didn't know the words to 'The Internationale'," but with histypical aplomb and wit he explained what it was he believed in. | | | Like astone in the shoe, Bragg rails about social injustices until your defenses aredown and you have no choice but to give him a listen. | | | "I see no shame in putting my name to socialism's cause," he sings onthe final track of Preaching to the Converted, "Nor seeking some morerelevance than spotlight and applause."On the grand scale, Bragg will probablynever be famous, but he'll always have something more than that. |

| | One of the leaders of Britain's "anti-folk" movement of the '80s, Billy Bragg combines the social conscience and agitation of punk with the delivery and tunefulness of folk on songs that deftly blend the personal and the political. | | | More recently Billy has released England, Half English. | | | He has become something of a celebrity in Britain, and he recently teamed up with American alt-country band Wilco in a tribute to fellow resistor Woody Guthrie, entitled Mermaid Avenue and Mermaid Avenue Volume II. |

| | Now, 20 years after his first album, Bragg has released a retrospective: Must I Paint You a Picture? | | | But when Mother Jones calls the 46-year-old Bragg at his house in the rural southwest of England, with its sweeping view of the English Channel, the thing that is uppermost in his mind is walking the dogs before it gets dark. | | | He also recently toured in the United States along with Steve Earle and Tom Morello on the "Tell Us the Truth Tour"—an attempt to counter the misinformation propagated by the Bush administration through an insufficiently critical media. |
