Between the Wars

Billy Bragg

Four tracks of stark, acoustic protest music. A thick Essex accent and a single guitar documenting the struggle of the British working class.

A somber yet resilient reflection on historical struggle and the dignity of labor.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, sharp intake of breath before the final verse of the title track.
The way the acoustic guitar strings buzz against the fretboard during the most aggressive strums.
The transition from the bleak historical narrative of the opener to the more rhythmic, driving folk of the b-sides.
