Yesterday I ran across an article in the New York Times with Billy Bragg talking about some of his favorite music. It’s all part of a column the Times runs from time to time called “Playlist.” Much to my satisfaction, Billy’s been diggin’ on some of my own favorite music. Talking about The Hold Steady’s Boys and Girls in America, he says:
There are some albums that take you back to your early teens — before they invented Guitar Hero III — when you’d get by with your bedroom mirror and a tennis racket for a guitar. This would be my tennis racket album of the year.
Billy Bragg, you just described the essential step in my morning routine.
Bragg also talks about his other favorite bands and his own new album Mr. Love & Justice, due out the 22nd of this month. Read the full article here.
