Legendary folk/punk Billy Bragg has announced some US dates this fall. Though Billy has not released a new album since 2002's England, Half English, he remains actively involved in a number of causes.

Clash guitarist and "Jail Guitar Doors" songwriter Mick Jones joined Bragg in dropping off the first five acoustic guitars to Wormwood Scrubs prison in West London earlier this month.
