Billy Bragg's 'Mr. Love and Justice' US Release Date!
Submitted by Erik Gonzalez on January 31, 2008.I do love me some Billy Bragg, and his newest album, Mr. Love & Justice, will be released in the US on April 22nd, according to NME! Sure, the UK gets it a whole month and a half earlier (March 3), but still, its new Billy either way. He'll be playing at SxSW this year (note to all the TIGers headed that way - he is not to be missed), but no word on any official U.S. tour yet.
And just to add to the Bragg goodness, here he is performing "Between the Wars" on Top of the Pops with his fabulous green guitar.

Yeah, England, Half English was kind of a dud. However, I thought the same thing about William Bloke and its grown on me a lot ... its no Workers Playtime, but that would be infinitely tough.

Excluding the Mermaid Avenues, he kind of lost me after Don't try this at home. But live he still has it, especially if it's just Billy and his guitar. Like you said, not to be missed.

Oh I was just listening to Mermaid Ave. and I love me a lot of Billy Bragg's back catalog but I couldn't get into England, Half English. My roommate took me to the show for that tour and they didn't work for me live either. I did enjoy him a bunch two or three years earlier when I saw him. But here's to a new album and hope for some protest songs and some awkward love songs.
