Billy Bragg - A Million Things That Never Happened (Blue/Green Vinyl)
LP
‘The Million Things That Never Happened’ is Billy’s tenth studio album out the Cooking Vinyl label.
The album, the first pandemic blues album of our times but also a heartfelt paean to human resilience, features 12 soulful country rock gems. The record was produced by Romeo Stodart and Dave Izumi at Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne. All songs are written by Billy Bragg apart from the final song (Ten Mysterious Photos That Can’t Be Explained), which is co-written by Billy’s son Jack Valero.
“in an age of division, ‘the Million Things That Never Happened’ is a gentle embrace of what unites us all… a mellow and empathetic antidote to the chaos and confusion of modern life.”
NME
“Moving…powerful…Bragg’s voice, carrying years of hard-earned wisdom, shares a message of hope, strength and healing.”
