After the return to form of `Rock Art and the X-Ray Style' great things were expected of the second Mescaleros album and they didn't disappoint. Only Joe Strummer could take all American iconic folk tale `Johnny Appleseed' and turn it into a world music classic. Unlike its predecessor `Global a Go-Go' is pretty consistent in arrangement with rockabilly guitars with African/bangra percussion, percussive piano arrangements and reggae organ fills with a few techno styling's thrown in for good measure across the first ten tracks. `Johnny Appleseed' gives way to `Cool'N'Out' (a Mescaleros in joke), through the title track and onwards with no drops in quality just great, if bizarrely named, songs. There are some brilliant tracks here, ... Read More:

2.Rock Art and the X-Ray Style by: Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros October 18, 1999

Ten years had passed since Joe Strummer had last recorded an LP, 1989's `Earthquake Weather' which had been a critical and commercial failure and had lost him his solo contract with CBS/Epic the home of The Clash. Since then he had deputised for Shane MacGowan on a Pogues tour, appeared with Black Grape, The Levellers and Fat Les as well as contributing to the soundtracks and making cameo appearances in various independent films. Nobody was expecting much of The Mescaleros as The Latino Rockabilly War was still very much in everyone's mind if not on their turntables. The album opens with `Tony Adams' which if it is a tribute to the England and Arsenal Captain and defender it is very obscure but a great song regardless. `Sandpaper Blues' ... Read More:

All great artists generally leave enough material for a posthumous album of some sorts, generally a pork scratching type affair which rarely adds anything to the existing cannon. I think the opposite is true here and that this is greatest of the three albums that The Mescaleros recorded and possibly better than anything Joe recorded with The Clash. I think that taking Joe out of mixing/mastering stages has left his band to complete the album without Joe vetoing anything that he might think commercial and as a consequence I think this is the most immediate album in Joe's cannon. Festival anthem `Coma Girl' is the strongest opening song any album could hope for and the pace doesn't settle down through the pseudo religious `Get Down Moses', prophetic ... Read More:

4.Joe Strummer: the Future Is Unwritten: Original Soundtrack by: Joe Strummer, Clash, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, MC5, Mescaleros, Nina Simone May 07, 2007

`The Future us Unwritten' is Julian Temple's documentary film about the late great Joe strummer and is of `The Filth and the Fury' rather than `The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle' template. The Soundtrack album also serves to tell the story of Joe mixing his own songs with the songs that inspired him and linking it all together with sound bites of Joe from various interviews and the links he made as a DJ for the BBC World Service with his occasional show `London Calling'. Joe's own cannon is well represented here with The 101ers (Joe's first recording band) `Keys to your Heart' and early Clash with previously un-released demo versions of `White Riot' and `I'm So Bored with the USA'. The Clash's reggae influence is showcased with the single `Armagideon Time' and ... Read More:

5.Walker (Bonus Tracks) [Us Import] by: Joe Strummer July 26, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £21.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.98 You Save: £7.01 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.27
After the Clash disbanded and before the Mescaleros really took off, Joe Strummer was in some kind of wilderness. He had his 'London Calling' radio show on the BBC World Service, but no real outlet for his own musical abilities, then along comes a commission to do a film score. Ignore the fact that the film bombed, the music is stunning. Imagine an edgier version of Ennio Morricone spread over an entire atmospheric album of western sounds and you have some idea of what Walker achieves. Joe Strummer really achieved a lot with this album so it's a shame he never saw a lot of recognition for it back when it might have mattered to him.

7.Earthquake Weather by: Joe Strummer September 20, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £16.19
After dissolving The Clash mark two Joe Strummer had kept a low profile contributing to the soundtracks of three Alex Cox films Sid and Nancy, Straight to Hell and Walker where he teamed up with Zander Schloss for a further soundtrack contribution, Permanent Record, forming the Latino Rockabilly War which is in essence what became his touring band with whom he recorded `Earthquake Weather'. The album is fairly consistent with fourteen tracks of Rockabilly World Music creating an image of leather clad rockers chilling out on a tropical island keeping there eyes peeled for a dealer. Some of the track titles painting the feel exactly, `Gangsterville', Island Hopping', `Leopardskin Limousines', `Jewellers and Bums' and `Highway One Zero Street'. My own favourite being ...
