Favourite Bragg tune 'Levi stubbs Tears'.

The problem with Bragg is, he's good to listen to in small doses.
In that a couple of album plays back to back, can grate a little.

Lyrically brilliant like Turner and has a wonderful knack of capturing the times and the working man's world.

"Power to the people!" *raises fist*
I'll look for more stuff by him if it's better than that song. But yeah, it is very much "power to the people" which can be hard to translate into something unique.
