The Road to Nowhere
Reviewing a record album is always a difficult prospect, as music, unlike cinema, has intangible aspects that cannot be easily quantified and assessed.

Indeed, a piece of music will recall a particular era or even a certain moment in time, each experience remembered peculiar to the individual listener.

The Price I Pay by Billy Bragg. Top Story - July 2024.
