    Shine a Light is an album of big ideas and lofty intentions, but the truth is this probably would have been better if Bragg and Henry had found a nice concert hall where they could have recorded it in front of an audience that wasn't running to catch a train.

    They’re more than train songs, and brim with tales of capitalist enslavement and hopes of freedom.

    Shine A Light is a labour of love and a personal indulgence for its two creators, but it's always welcoming. [Oct 2016, p.93]
