Free Music Review: Classic Bragg
Hit: 5 Stars
A must-have for any Billy Bragg fan. Despite the fact that politically charged music these days tends to risk sounding a bit contrived (or at least dimly uninsightful), Bragg's lyrical brilliance and the crunch of his lone electric guitar create a powerful, almost minimalistic, atmosphere where raw emotion and politics are united into a single elegant modern narrative.
Back to Basics Poster
This collection of feisty early recordings (the Between the Wars EP and the Brewing Up LP) features England's loudest socialist folkie, usually armed only with an electric guitar and a millennium's worth of outrage, attacking those in power (lazy journalists in "It Says Here," the eternal mining aristocracy in "The World Turned Upside Down") with precision and enough energy to make even the most dogmatic lyrics sound colloquial and persuasive. Bragg is a one-man Clash here, seeking to demolish all he can and then build a better world with his electric guitar and his righteousness as the only tools he'll need. --Jimmy GutermanAlternative Rock Music CDs
