Bridges Not Walls
Billy Bragg releases the mini album, ‘Bridges Not Walls,’ featuring all of the singles he has released over the northern summer plus two other gems that stand shoulder to shoulder with every song Billy has written in his 30 year career on the frontline.
‘Bridges Not Walls’ is the follow up to the acclaimed 2016 album ‘Shine A Light: Recordings From The Great American Railroad’ with Joe Henry.
“Life comes at you real fast these days. What's a singer-songwriter to do when events keep challenging the way that we see the world? Before we've had a chance to digest one startling development, along comes another to throw us off balance again. I've been grubbing up songs for the past 12 months, but without the time to get an album together due to other projects, so in an effort to keep pace with these chaotic times I decided to start dropping tracks as they became ready across the summer culminating in a mini album. As always, they're my way of trying to make some sense of what's going on. And there's been a lot going on” – Billy Bragg
