"You all know the legendary punk rocker, Billy Bragg. He is grouped in and has worked with the best of them, including Johnny Marr of The Smiths, protest folk singer Leon Rosselson, members of R.E.M., Less Than Jake, Kirsty MacColl, and Wilco. Bragg’s Volume 2 finds him adding to his band and expanding his lyrical reach. Though still a caustic rabble-rouser, Bragg revealed he was equally adept at discussing the struggles of love as he was at discussing the struggles of the working class. Volume 2 chronicles Bragg's gradual addition of a full band to his formerly sparse guitar and vocal arrangements. The four reissues are Workers Playtime, Don't Try This At Home, William Bloke, and England, Half English. A bonus DVD featuring an entire televised concert from 1991 and a 2006 live performance is only available as part of the 9-disc box set. Each original has been re-mastered as have the five discs of bonus material, much of it previously unavailable and handpicked by Billy and longtime Bragg cohorts Grant Showbiz and Wiggy."
