Hmm, not much interest in Billy Bragg on this forum? Anyways, I was just recently introduced to him through his Mermaid Avenue collaboration with Wilco and I really liked his contributions to that album. Is the rest of his discography similar and what would be a good stepping stone?

By the way, anyone who hasn't checked out Mermaid Avenue and is really into the whole alt-country thing should check out these fantastic workings of Guthrie-penned songs, from both sides.
