This week there's a couple reasons to feature Billy Bragg: it's his 62nd birthday, and there's also an awesome new collection of his songs recorded at the BBC throughout his career. We've got a copy on triple vinyl you can sign up to win over at thecurrent.org (deadline to enter is midnight Central on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019*).

Billy Bragg has long been a favorite and friend of the Current, for his songwriting, activism, cheerleading, and just for being Billy Bragg.

Happy Birthday to Billy, we'll feature his BBC sessions, this week on Teenage Kicks.
