Billy Bragg - Mr. Love and Justice
It’s a fitting title, since Bragg has always mixed romance with politics. Bragg has never shied from wearing his left-wing sympathies on his sleeve—he even recorded a collection of union and communist anthems called The Internationale. His latest features flag-wavers like “O Freedom” and “The Johnny Carcinogenic Show,” a Joe Strummer-style tune about Big Tobacco. But it’s his love songs that stand out, including the gorgeous “I Keep Faith,” where he’s joined by singer Robert Wyatt and Faces organist Ian McLagan.
