# Billy Bragg: Roots, Radicals & Rockers

The roots of skiffle as a musical genre and its influence on popular music is discussed in this book talk presented by singer and guitarist Billy Bragg. In his book, "Roots, Radicals and Rockers: How Skiffle Changed the World," Bragg examines the moment in history following World War II when British teens transformed the country's pop music from a jazz-based musical form into the guitar-led sound that changed the world of music.
