Billy Bragg: Brewing Up with Billy Bragg (1984)
I guess Billy is better known as a political songwriter, but he wrote some fantastic love songs. This album has a mixture of both. There aren't many real videos from the Bragg camp back in the day, for some reason, though there were more later. But, there are plenty of Bragg live clips on the web, which is great.
I have in excess of 30 Billy Bragg CDs, including reissues with bonus discs and/or DVDs, best of packages, a collection of b-sides, some official (and unofficial) bootlegs, live recordings, promotional releases, CD singles, and the collaborations with Wilco.
Sometimes, Billy sounds like a one-man punk band.
