New 2013 album from the beloved UK bard & his first in 5 years! Produced by Joe Henry & housed in a limited edition 'bookpack' featuring a DVD with 10 filmclips + a 36-page booklet with exclusive photos & BB's words of wisdom. "January Song," the bluesy leadoff track from veteran English folkie Billy Bragg's first solo outing since 2008's Mr. Love and Justice, begins with the lyric "I'm so tightly wound in tension" and ends with "This is how the world ends," signaling a shift from the stalwart political activism of previous outings to a more internalized dialogue that suggests a subtle re-positioning of the magnifying glass.
