Billy Bragg brings us love and justice in 2008

Billy Bragg is possibly my all-time favorite musician. His early albums, when it was just Bragg and his green electric guitar are some of the best punk-folk-protest albums ever written, Workers Playtime, from his full band years, is a brilliant mix of love and politics and he puts on one of the best live shows you'll ever see. Needless to say, I'm excited to read that he will be releasing his next album, Mr. Love & Justice, early in 2008. If you're unfamiliar with Billy, I say get with it!
