Billy Bragg - Levi Stubb's Tears

It’s easy to forget here in 2008 just how revolutionary this sound was at the time. Just a bloke & his electric guitar. That’s it. Throw in a hefty dose of socialism, young lover’s angst, & a bit of punk rock fervour into the mix & you’ve got quite a volatile cocktail.
I remember vividly how ‘Brewing Up…’ knocked me out while at college in the mid-80s. This song is from the follow up album ‘Talking to the Taxman About Poetry’.
