All You Fascists Are Bound to Lose

8 Billy Bragg Videos #3

When Nora Guthrie invited Bragg to look through her father's unrecorded lyrics and set them to music, I doubt either of them knew just how special the project would turn out. Along with Wilco, Bragg would create the Mermaid Avenue and Mermaid Avenue 2 albums whose greatness will stand the test of time.

While Wilco largely ignored Woody's political lyrics, Bragg, to no surprise. embraced them. They weren't a stretch for anyone familiar with Bragg's work, but they were still compelling.
