Description:
Amazon.com's Best of 1998
A ghost, a band, a troubadour. Easily the strangest co-op project ever, and easily one of the finest and most evocative albums of the year. British socialist and folkie Billy Bragg was given unprecedented access to Woody Guthrie's unrecorded lyrics.

500 CDs You Must Own Before You Die! (500 music items)"Unexpected collaboration between English bloke, alt-country band and Woody Guthrie, deceased lefty folk giant.
