Wednesday sees Steve welcomes Billy Bragg to the show to chat about his new album Tooth and Nail. The album is his first new album in 5 years and was recorded over 5 days with Joe Henry (Elvis Costello and Hugh Lawrie) in South Pasadena.
The album was recorded live without retakes or overdubs and exposes a rawer sound to Billy's work.

He chats with Steve about how the album had its gensis in a comment on Billy's twitter feed and how Billy got his confidence back after being pursuaded to sing live again by his producer.
