Free Music Notes for Workers Playtime
Free Music Review: Another great album from Billy Bragg
Hit: 5 Stars
This is simply another example of Billy Bragg's ability to combine great songs about lost love, relationships, and politics onto one album and make it seamless. The second CD has some great demos as well.
Little Time Bomb, Rotting on Remand, and Great Leap Forwards are my favorites.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Workers Playtime Poster
Japanese limited edition issue of the album classic in a deluxe, miniaturized LP sleeve replica of the original vinyl album artwork.Even as a very young man, Billy Bragg tempered his socialist politics with songs about affairs of the heart, a combination that's served him well. But no matter how lovey-dovey he may croon, Bragg can't help but rail at oppression in its many manifestations. On Worker's Playtime, producer Joe Boyd (Fairport Convention, Nick Drake) frames Bragg's ragged voice with sympathetic folk-rock arrangements. But the real strength of this 1988 collection lies in Bragg's songwriting. The album may boast the pedantic "Capitalism Is Killing Music," but Bragg's sense of humor is in evidence throughout. "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards" mixes Mao with Mott the Hoople, while the heart-stopping sincerity of "The Short Answer" suffers not a whit for bringing up Karl Marx. --Rob O'Connor
