Just thought i'd post up some photos of my USA trip. Its my frist time over here and i'm on tour playing 32 shows through out a lot of the USA. So far we've played Colorado, Albuquerque and now in Phoenix. I can't belive how many classic there are just about the citys. I didn't put all the photos up but here are a few.   These guys in Albuquerque seem to cruise up and down the street all day. Some great car mods....   I'm going to try and find one of these grils for my Focus   Chris |

LOL course they were driving up and down all day they were probably drug dealers. Albuquerque has got a massive gang problem, one of the highest rates of crime in the US lol.

Its called cruising. Its what lowriders do....i doubt Rollers only would be happy of being associated with drug deals. Just sayin

Met BB about 25 yrs ago when he found one of his neighbours had died in their flat. Seemed a nice guy but was a bit 'out of it' with shock as I recall.

Bill is a great guy! having so much fun playing Guitar and Pedal Steel Guitar etc for him. Such a nice guy and a pleasure to work for!
he's had a load of radio promo to do today, so me and the band have been out in LA in a new Ford Mustang soft top... amazing, it all new to me. this line of work. I'd put a pic up but you can probably all imagine what it looks like. it was black with a V8.

I am up in Boston, there is not much classic material on the roads up here, it tends to melt with all the salt....

Oh wow, you're playing in NY on April 27th, I'm going to try and make it.
As the only person in the NYC area with a Vauxhall Velox I'm double curse word off that the cars aren't running... What better car to drive to a Billy Bragg show?

Musical tours seem to avoid New Orleans. It's not flooded any more. That was years ago  --Phil |

rid14 if you can make it down thats cool! I'd sort out a guest list, but its so difficut as they used them for press etc.. thats whats happend in LA anyway. I'm hoping New Orleans is a possible in the future. If we do well i'm sure we'll be back  I might have to turn the Escort into a lowrider now after this trip. maybe put a V4 in it to get a V8ish vibe haha |

It would be a treat to see you guys play regardless. And I'm sure we can figure out how to stuff a V8 in that Escort  |
