''Mr. Love & Justice'' the new album by the great English songwriter and performer Billy Bragg, is in stores on Monday 3rd March 2008 (North America release date is 8th April) - exactly six years since the release of his last album, ‘England, Half English’. There will be 2 versions of the album. A standard version containing just the album and a limited edition Deluxe 2 X CD Edition in 6 panel Ecol-Pak with expanded booklet, featuring the entire album recorded solo.

 
The 12-track new album has been produced by Grant Showbiz and features Bragg’s band The Blokes, comprising the celebrated Ian McLagan - of Small Faces, Bob Dylan, The Faces and Rolling Stones fame - on Hammond organ and piano, together with Ben Mandelson (lap steel guitar and bouzouki); Lu Edmonds (electric guitar and vocals); Martyn Barker (drums) and Simon Edwards (bass).

They are joined by the legendary Robert Wyatt, the guest vocalist on a track called ‘I Keep Faith’ recorded in South Thoresby, Lincolnshire. The collaboration came about when Bragg, in search of fresh rhubarb for a crumble, was in nearby Louth where he met Wyatt who lives in the town. “I hadn’t seen him since Red Wedge (the 1986 Labour Party youth vote initiative),” says Bragg. “He found me some rhubarb and then came along to the recording session and sang beautiful vocals to the chorus of ‘I Keep Faith’ – it was like angels singing!”
