5.0 out of 5 stars Billy's finest recording?, January 10, 2001
By Richard R. Johnson "r-squared" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whether you agree with Billy's politics or not, you can't help but be impressed with the emotion of "My Youngest Some Came Home Today" or the sharp lyrics of "Marching Song of the Covert Battalions." It seems that musicians just don't record this sort of gutsy material anymore. Nowadays, "taking a chance" means offending as many people as possible with obscenities or lewd behavior, but there was a time when musicians believed that taking a chance had to do with performing intellectually bold content that had real social value. Billy Bragg is one of those people. Steve Earle is another. It's a shame there aren't more like them anymore. If you want a stellar example of a talented musician performing gutsy, meaty songs, then listen to this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars rally beneath this CD :), May 19, 2000
By Sai-Git (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Hey, I'm a socialist, do you really expect me to give this CD a bad review? *chuckle* Great stuff. Bragg's "The Red Flag" is fun to dance to, I might add. And just did. Heh!

Was this review helpful to you? Probably not. Sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent album, January 19, 2003
By Bob Savage (Watertown, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a great album. There is a breadth of tone and subject matter, though all the songs come from Billy Bragg's perspective, and are quite political in nature. To specifically address one criticism on this site, Billy did not write a new tune for 'The Red Flag', he states that he is returning the lyrics to their ORIGINAL tune, which is a lively Irish reel; the effect is to give the song the energy and enthusiam it requires.
