#58 Levi Stubbs' Tears -- Billy Bragg (1986)



Another WHFS favorite from the 1980s, this one from British punk/folk singer/songwriter/activist Billy Bragg (who, unlike many UK performers, definitely does NOT lose his accent when singing). I suppose the redemptive part of this song is the power of music to get people through tough times, but be warned that it’s considerably bleaker than, say, “Rock And Roll Lullabye”.
