Don't Try This at Home

Don't Try This at Home is the sixth album by urban folk artist Billy Bragg, released on 16 September 1991 by Go! Discs. It reached No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart. "Sexuality" was released as a single which reached No. 27 on the UK charts and No. 2 on the US Modern Rock charts. Johnny Marr of the Smiths co-wrote "Sexuality" and helped to produce three tracks. The song "Cindy of a Thousand Lives" is about photographer Cindy Sherman. "Tank Park Salute" is about his father, Dennis Bragg, who died of lung cancer when Bragg was 18. He said that for a show in Barking, where he grew up, he was so moved by the presence of his mother and brother in the audience that he kept a copy of the lyrics in case he forgot them while performing. R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and Peter Buck contribute to "You Woke Up My Neighbourhood". The song was named after a drawing by Woody Guthrie, whose unpublished lyrics were set to music by Bragg and Wilco on the Mermaid Avenue albums a few years later. "Dolphins" is a cover of the Fred Neil song. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_T...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
