Bragg space


The new Billy Bragg album, Mr Love & Justice, can be streamed for free at http://music.msn.com/music/ListeningBooth (it's about 4th on the list as you scroll down).

Fine stuff . . .

Your wish is my command, ma'am. The band's called Mary-Lee's Corvette (after a long memory-trawl I remembered the "Mary" and so could google it from there!). Clearly she's stopped the free download offer, but you can still listen to the album merrily at http://www.maryleescorvette.com/bottalbum.html.

The track I dislike is "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" (prolly my least favourite on the Dylan original, to be honest): not her fault that the two guys she asked up from the audience to augment the vocals proved to be assholes.

Wait a mo: I'm having trouble getting it to play. 'Scuse me while I fiddle around some more . . .

If you have difficulties on ML's own site, try here: http://free.napster.com/view/album/index.html?id=12147572. You get three plays of the album for free.

BTW, Paul, thanks for this link! MLC does a great job with Blood on the Tracks. I especially enjoyed Shelter From The Rain.

My aim is but to please, ma'am. Glad you're enjoying it!

Er...I meant "Shelter from the Storm." I'm having a senior moment masquerading as a blond.
