Our Take
Billy Bragg, the eternal troubadour of working-class angst and political protest, has returned with his latest offering, "The Roaring Forty." At the ripe age of 63, Bragg shows no sign of slowing down, delivering a blend of folk, punk, and protest anthems that are as relevant today as they were in his heyday. The album kicks off with the rousing anthem "Bread and Circuses," a scathing critique of modern society's obsession with mindless entertainment and consumerism. Bragg's trademark gravelly voice cuts through the mix, injecting a sense of urgency and authenticity into each lyric. Tracks like "The Revolt of the Sun" and "Gentle on My Mind" showcase Bragg's versatility as a songwriter, blending poignant storytelling with catchy melodies that will have you humming for days. The addition of strings and brass on certain tracks adds a layer of depth and richness to the sound, elevating the album from mere protest folk to something truly transcendent. "The Roaring Forty" is a reminder that Billy Bragg is a master of his craft, weaving together timeless melodies with thought-provoking lyrics that challenge the status quo. It may have been forty years since Bragg burst onto the scene, but his passion and fire are as strong as ever. Raise a pint to the bard of Barking – he's still roaring louder than ever.
