WHO: Billy Bragg
WHAT: The Million Things That Never Happened
WHY: Billy Bragg has easily slid into the “easy listening” category over the past few albums, but what sets him apart is that his music still packs a powerful message. It’s quite an efficient and interesting way to get your point across. The Million Things That Never Happened is a pandemic album in that it deals with issues of divisiveness and conflict that became more prominent during that time. It’s all delivered with Bragg’s wit and honesty and that heavy British accent. This album shows that the package may change, but the core stays the same.
