Billy Bragg Biography
Billy Bragg stands with one foot in the American dustbowl of Woody Guthrie and one in the anarchy of British punk. Bragg's early records from the 1980s were a revelation: the power and fury of punk transmitted via the age-old medium of a man alone with only his guitar. His songs address social injustices, workers' plights, and affairs of the heart with equal aplomb. In the late 1990s, Bragg embarked on a remarkable collaboration with the band Wilco, putting music to a treasure trove of newly discovered Woody Guthrie lyrics, and the 2000s saw his continued recording, writing, and political activism.
