Talking With the Taxman About Poetry With Bonus CD

Billy Bragg, once-described as a 'one-man Clash,' has spent the last two decades writing and performing passionate, witty, socially conscious music. Yep Roc Records re-issue Talking with the Taxman About Poetry, Billy's 1985 album, about which Rolling Stone glowed, 'On this album, cheerfully subtitled 'The difficult Third Album,' Bragg expands his pared-down sound ever-so-slightly (violin here, piano and tambourine there). While purists might bitch, the result is a winning mesh, as clever as Elvis Costello, as melodic as Ray Davies and as rocking as Chuck Berry.'
