Billy Bragg

The singer/songwriter Billy Bragg is probably best-known for his highly politicised lyrics and for his contribution to the now infamous Red Wedge lobby group of the 1980's. Apart from his own releases, he has collaborated on two albums of Woody Guthrie songs with the band Wilco (1998's Mermaid Avenue and 2000's Mermaid Avenue Volume 2). His own albums are; Life's A Riot With Spy Vs Spy (1983), Brewing Up (1984), Talking With The Taxman About Poetry (1986), Worker's Playtime (1988), Don't Try This At Home (1991), William Bloke (1996) and England Half English (2002).
