Billy Bragg

Author: DittyTV October 12, 2021 Duration: 55:27
Our guest on the podcast today is renowned singer-songwriter and longtime activist Billy Bragg. Bragg is a quick-witted artist and productive generator of change. He’s been a fearless recording artist and political campaigner for over 30 years, and as of this week, he’s released 10 solo studio albums. The latest of which is titled The Million Things That Never Happened. Declared “the first pandemic blues album of our times,” the record features 12 soulful country rock gems that were produced and recorded at Echo Zoo Studio in Eastbourne, England. And if that’s not enough, Bragg also added best-selling author and musicologist to his resume with the success of his acclaimed 2017 book Roots, Radicals & Rockers – How Skiffle Changed the World. We dig in to all this and a lot more in the next hour, so listen in and enjoy.  Part of Pantheon Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
