Our Take

BILLY BRAGG's "William Bloke" is a delightful blend of soulful storytelling and toe-tapping tunes that will make you want to grab a pint and join in the sing-along. The album opens with the rousing anthem "From Red to Blue," a nostalgic ode to a bygone era when politics were as black and white as a pint of stout. Bragg's unmistakable vocals are as raw and honest as ever, cutting through the noise with piercing clarity.

As the album progresses, we are treated to a mix of heartfelt ballads and rebellious anthems, each one more infectious than the last. Tracks like "Upfield" and "Everybody Loved You Once" showcase Bragg's ability to craft catchy melodies without sacrificing any of his trademark wit and wisdom.

But it's not all serious social commentary on "William Bloke." Bragg shows off his playful side with tracks like "The Space Race is Over" and "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards," which infuse just the right amount of cheeky humor into the mix.

Overall, "William Bloke" is a triumph for Billy Bragg, proving once again why he is one of the most beloved and influential voices in British music. So grab a beer, turn up the volume, and let Bragg's infectious energy wash over you. You won't regret it. Cheers!
