For Billy Bragg, All Politics Is Love

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Some songwriters sing about politics. Others sing about love. But for 25 years, one British songwriter has specialized in the unthinkable: the political love song. Today on Soundcheck, we talk to Billy Bragg about love, politics and his first album in six years. And later: songwriter Joseph Arthur intends to release five CDs this year, including one full-length album. He joins us to talk about his ambitious plans, and he plays live in our studio.
