The roaring forty - 1983-2023

"'The Roaring 40' isn't the first attempt to sum up the flow of Bragg's career in a single release, but if you want to show someone why he made such an impact in the '80s, and how he evolved into an unpretentious éminence grise four decades later, this set will do the job better than any other Bragg anthology. The sequence replicates Bragg's journey as a musician and spokesman very well, from his days as a one-man-Clash to his contemporary position of one of the U.K.'s last great pub rockers".
