Mr Love & Justice, Billy Bragg's twelfth studio album, came out in 2008, the second he made with his backing band the Blokes, and it borrows its title from the 1960 Colin MacInnes novel. Grant Showbiz produced. The band tracks went down at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire in March 2007, with a few pieces taken from a September 2006 session at the Butchers Shop in London.
It comes in two flavours. The standard disc has the full band warming up Bragg's mix of love songs and stubborn left-wing conviction with a folk-rock glow. A limited double edition adds a Solo Version, the same twelve songs played by Bragg alone on electric and acoustic guitars, cut at Mojo Sound Studios in Devon in September 2007. "I Keep Faith" led things off as a limited 7-inch single on 17 March 2008, and Franz Nicolay of the Hold Steady named the album one of his favourites of the year.
