The album chronicles in blues and country music form a rail journey they made across the US from Chicago to Los Angeles. The album is fab and I'm a long-time Bragg convert, but I was very impressed with Henry, whose work I'd never come across.
Henry also said something very wise about the Trump victory in the recent US election.
He said: 'This is where we are. It's not who we are.'
I think that's as true of the Trump victory as it is of the UK Brexit vote. Both nations are currently on a path of anger, hatred and racism that seems intent on banishing any idea of compassion.
It's not a good path. But it's also not a final destination.
