Billy Bragg ha un nuovo album live. Ma il lavoro, "Billy Bragg live at the Barbican", non raggiungerà le tradizionali rivendite: è infatti un "download-only" disponibile, proprio in questi giorni, dal suo Website ufficiale billybragg.co.uk.
La registrazione è stata effettuata al Barbican di Londra il 29 marzo 2004 e contiene, oltre alle canzoni, i discorsi (più o meno polemici) con i quali il cantautore separa un brano dall'altro; le esternazioni di Bragg (Steven William Bragg, 20 dicembre '57, Barking, Essex) spaziano dai fallimenti del nuovo partito laburista alle terribili notti di addio al nubilato a Newcastle. L'elenco dei brani e dei discorsi:
"A lover sings"
"Lovers town revisited"
Really sing (talk)
"No power without accountability"
Newcastle hen night (talk)
"The fourteenth of February"
Stag night (talk)
"The Saturday boy" (con Dave Woodhead)
"Little time bomb" (con Dave Woodhead)
Fahrenheit 451 (talk)
"She came along to me"
Who are the terrorists (talk)
"The wolf covers its tracks"
"Like soldiers do"
BNP is the enemy (talk)
"Accident waiting to happen"
"Cindy of a thousand lives"
Grant's special effects (talk)
"The world turned upside down"
"Help save the youth of America"
Economic migrants (talk)
"Distant shore"
"Levi Stubbs' tears" (con Dave Woodhead)
Body surfing (talk)
"Waiting for the great leap forwards"
"Tank park salute"
"Way over yonder in the minor key"
Morrissey's rubber sheet (talk)
"Dry bed"
Rock out with yer cock out (talk)
"All the young dudes" (con Jill Sobule)
Don't mourn, organize (talk)
"There is power in a union".
Bragg debuttò come solista nel giugno '83 con l'album "Life's a riot with spy vs. spy". Per l'entrata nella Top 10 britannica dovette attendere fino al settembre '86, quando il suo "Talking with the taxman about poetry" sbarcò al numero otto.
