Billy Bragg goes twang with his new song No One Knows Nothing Anymore

Billy Bragg-3

We saw Billy Bragg do a very fine solo set in Oslo last summer, he hasn’t mellowed too much. He is still the workingman’s troubadour. While that is certainly true, he has always had the melodies, he is a great tunesmith and a folksinger in the truest sense.

Now he’s back with a song that is going on repeat in our household, the incredibly catchy No On Knows Nothing Anymore.  The great new country tinged track is from Bill Bragg’s upcoming release Tooth and Nail produced by Joe Henry.

Crossing my fingers and hoping that the whole album has the same countryfied feeling, it really suits Mr. Bragg.

Here’s a promo for the record  and yes! it sounds quite country and it sounds fantastic! (out 18 March):

  1. I recently saw Billy Bragg following Richard Thompson at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco. His show was about 50 per cent country. He has a fantastic pedal steel payer whose name I’m too lazy to look up. Great weather, huge free crowd, and a fine set. I’ll post some photos this weekend on my smugmug site.
