Artist:
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
After grinding the Clash into the carpet with 1984s Cut the Crap, punk visionary Joe Strummer is lucky he wasnt jailed for crimes against the humanities. Fortunately, Global A Go-Go picks up where Joe left off before it all went awry, embracing the same world beats that fueled worthy Clash albums like Combat Rock. Sure, some of Go-Gos upbeat tracks veer into Brian Setzer territory, but while its no London Calling, it is another step on Joes road back to relevance.
