Reviews

[Rob Levy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me start by saying I contributed to this book. Having said that, it is a chronological history of Bragg's career told with photos and archival material and recollections from billy, his band and fans from around the world. It's a fantastic glimpse into his career and his connection to fans.

[Kevin Low · Rating 5 out of 5]

An unconventional but entertaining and moving collection of reminiscences on the career of the Bard of Barking, the inimitable Billy Bragg.
