“It’s crucial that you draw people in when you’re making records. Putting a track listing together can be very complex”

Joining us this time is legendary troubadour Billy Bragg. For over four decades, Billy has blended sharp political insight with heartfelt storytelling, from early anthems like Between the Wars to recent records that prove his voice is as vital as ever.

Few artists understand the power of a perfectly sequenced album like Billy, and his catalogue is full of second tracks that land like mission statements, passionate, pointed, and unforgettable.

There’s a great Joshua Tree Anecdote too.
