God bless Wayne for spreading the gospel of jazz to little rock n rollers like me.

The MC5 and the Stooges were all free jazz fans. Nice to see Kramer goes even further back. What movies and TV shows does he write for?

Billy Bragg makes out like the UK is starved for independent record shops but they're doing far better now than they did ten years ago, I've been to plenty all over the UK.

Nilsson Schmilsson! what a fantastic name for a record.

love you wayne! a true soldier of peace! from the white panthers to a self confessed addict- he's run the muck and is alive to tell others his story. love him

I'm a hard core 90's rap fan but when it comes to different types of genres I love a little of everything. Lately I've been discovering a lot of classic musicians that slowly i've been starting to follow

I love Billy he was always my favorite Folk singer!!! isnt it time for him to return to oregon/.

Saw Tal Farlow at The Bull in Barnes, London, 300 years ago. He ws stunning. His guitar was loud and fedback at the end of a song - a big, deep chord of feedback

Can't find a record shop in England Billy? Take a trip down to Brighton one of these days. It's about an hour's drive from where you live.

I went to the Amoeba in San Fran. and so much to look at.could of spent a coupla days there.Wow nothin' like that here in Western Australia !

Wow, Wayne Kramer has excellent jazz taste. Who'd a thunk it? Can't wait for the future What's In My Bag where Iggy Pop details his favorite bossa nova records.

Oh Billy, even at the time of recording this there were plenty of record shops in the UK, you just need to get out and find them.

Big up the Mick Mcarthy reference.

I love These guys' cause, Jail Guitar Doors. Good lookin out for the ones nobody thinks about.

great stuff,

Cliff Martinez, the guy Wayne Mentioned, was the drummer of the RHCP and even played on their first two albums.

Kramer knows jazz guitar, great picks.

Fantastic. Thanks Amoeba. Oh, could you guys please open up a store on the east coast? Preferably Boston. Thank you~ Rob/Boston

Impeccable taste, Wayne

Does someone know the song from the very beginning that lasts like 25seconds.?

Thanks. I am always keen to know the music behind the musician. I am a Canadian so I don't know about the actual state of record shops but Billy, bless him, seems a tad off- Britain, from the little I've read, England has lots of great "brick and mortar" shops. The music he chose- SUBLIME, SUPERLATIVE- made me aware of artists I have listened to and forgot about and need to BUY since radio and Sirius aren't up to scratch...( truthfully I know dick about the latter- maybe a NICE, POLITE, WELL MEANING "cat" will fill me in- yes, BE NICE. LIFE'S TOO SHORT FOR ANYMORE MEANIES- listen to Billy's raw, heartfelt, no half-naked exploited dancers, jiggling about- listen to his music- you might learn something too- Off to shop, Merry Clayton, Yusef Latif, "Confessions of Margaret Thatcher's Hair Stylist and Makeup Lackey" ...I think it was the divine Julie Driscoll who once quipped, "that "barnet"? (Cockney rhyme slang?) imagine putting your hand in it and getting stuck for a week?" I misquoted I'm sure but I got the sentiment- of course she was referring to overkill hairspray, helmets not hair, back combed beehive do's, before Vidal Sassoon made life easier and simply, elegant- I mention Marg because I can't see or hear Billy without shuddering at memories of her and the fall-out still affecting Britain and I suppose, the entire globe- her tentacles of rich are better, screw the ordinary people, those who work, struggle, maintain a foul status quo and promulgate The Me First Mentality- hairnets off to Meryl Streep though for a stunning performance in that biopic- got damn boring so bless her acting skills- time for Brewing Up With Billy Bragg, in my humble sack...Namaste

I'm not familiar with either of their own music but they have a good selection. I love Merry Clayton. I can't think of a more powerful vocalist.

Where are all the record shops in the US that Billy alludes to?

Billy seems like a hilarious guy just the way he talks.

Brother Wayne Kramer!

Mary Clayton! WOW!

What you on about Billy? I know loads of independent record shops just as good as the one you're sat in there. Next time you're in Cardiff I'll take you to Spillers the oldest record shop in the world, it first opened in 1894 and still going strong. You need to get out more Billy lad.

Man do I love BIlly Bragg and MC5

well now I'm off to listen to "Gimme Shelter.

Didn’t expect to see Mick McCarthy when clicking on this video

lol about the Mick McCarthy thing, I knew it reminded me of someone!

Is it me, or does the music from "Only God Forgives" sound like the opening music to "Stranger Things?"

Valerie June's voice reminds me of Erykah Badu's!

Brothers in arms

Rest in Peace, WK!

Wayne ......fucking rock god

The Motor City's Burnin'❗

Neko Case was a totally new name to me.

There are loads of great independent record shops in the UK. BRAGG SHOULD COME HOME AT TAKE A GOOD LOOK

spotify found mary clayton for me....

Billy...have you ever heard of car boot sales, flea markets...charity shops..shit loads of records in them..got most of my collection in those bad boys.

Thought billy would have a bag of vinyl

WAYNE!!!!

Merry Clayton's version of "Gimme Shelter" is as good as, if not better, than the Stones'.

Note to Billy Bragg. Try the internet to buy vinyl and cd's. You dont have to travel to the USA.

McCarthy is an Irish football manager

Neilson smelison, Me and my Arrow

loads of record shops in the u.k just not as good as amoeba

Nilson Smilson

It's funny calling CDs records

That album Billy picked for Album of the year... blah... His son has better music taste then he does. Oh and Merry Clayton has 4 albums on Spotify.

Billy is talking tripe in his dotage...there are record shops remains in Britain although in decreased numbers...

Umm, Billy, all those things you bought are called CDs. "Records" are made of vinyl.

Whats with all the Billy Bragg hate? Seems like everyones having a run at him

Lol. Fuckin A

Mick McCarthy hahah

Mick McCarthy is Irish.........NOT English

Billy seemed to Piss me off here. Record shops still exist and much as I love America there's no need to ass kiss it Billy. Its not the messiah

yeah those are cds not records you are supposed to get schmilsson on record with the poster still in it or don't show it fake wanna be musicians no street credit. proof any person can hustle through music i dig music i'm on drugs

Mick McCarthy, plastic paddy...Billy Bragg, millionaire faux socialiam

I used to have great admiration for Billy Bragg and his way of seeing the world through his musical ideas. Now, I can see he's just another media wanker hunting the money. Dismal, Billy, dismal...
