Billy Bragg's songs for the soul

from Take 5 · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

When people ask me who’s on my bucket list to Take 5, Billy Bragg is up there. The poet and activist has been part of my life since I was born. He’s a regular visitor to Australia, and his activism, songs and stories have captivated me for decades.  So having him join me on the day he released his new album, was a dream come true.The Million Things That Never Happened is a pandemic album, and we all leaned on songs to get us through the last two years. So I asked Billy to share his songs for the soul. From The Supremes to Laura Nyro to Curtis Mayfield, this is a grounding and beautiful convo about the power of music to keep us afloatWillin' - Little FeatStoned Love - The SupremesMove On Up - Curtis MayfieldSave the Country - Laura NyroMusical Communion - The Skatalites
