There's some great tracks on the Future Is Unwritten soundtrack, has anyone got the tracklisting and also can anyone recommend the best of Joe's post Clash work?

Can't help with the tracklisting but I pe3rsonally think JS & The Mescaleros (spelt right, doubt it?) material is excellent what I've heard and at times comparable/better than some of the Clash stuff. 'Redemption Song' too, is a beauty, better than any other version I've ever heard.

Global A Go Go and X Ray Style are fine long playing records.

Saw The Mescaleros a few times and was lucky enough to meet Joe and the band after they played a gig in HMV Oxford Street, pre-release their 2nd album ( Joe signed my Brigade Rosse shirt :) ). I saw the Latino Rockabilly war as well but probably my best post Clash gig for Joe was when he did the Earthquake Weather tour and played at the Town & Country club.

I've exported the entire film to my new ipod nano. Picture quality is outstanding... Now I just need a long journey by public transport to watch it all from a recess in the palm of my hand.

Post Clash, the best thing I ever heard him do was 'Long Shadow' with The Mescaleros. About Johnny Cash? Quality, regardless.

Joe's best work post-Clash is splattered across many bits and pieces. "Island Hoping" is a great, simple acoustic single, the second one to be taken from 'Earthquake Weather.' Strictly speaking, it wasn't released, it escaped - such was the label support. Check out a 12" bonus track called "Mango Street" which takes the song even further away from where CBS were aiming for.The 'Straight To Hell' soundtrack reveals a great song in "Evil Darling" and from around the same time and another soundtrack album in 'Walker' we get "Tennessee Rain" Both of these albums have been reissued, the former has only a couple of Joe's bits, but the latter is all his and essential.The lean years have some hidden gems, abandoned projects, and surprises too. "Pouring Rain" is given a new look with Tho Pogues backing, although The Clash V2.0 version on 'The Future Is Unwritten' is by a long margin far, far better. 'Chef Aid', the South Park album has Joe singing "It's A Rock And Roll World" with Flea in there too, and a great version of "The Harder They Come" can be found with the Long Beach Dub Allstars.Then there's The Mescaleros! 'Yalla, Yalla!' as they say. 'Rock Art' was my favourite album of all time when it came out,almost twenty years after 'London Calling' had. I played it so much that after about six months my son asked me, "Do you play that everyday?" and I pretty much had to shrug my shoulders and admit the truth. "Sandpaper Blues" is a classic world-music song, bigger than the band, they just play along. Has anyone ever witten a love song like (or even any song with the title?) "Nitcomb"? "Tony Adams" is a sturdy song needing a better title, and the closing lament, I still hum it when I buy mozzarella.'Global A Go-Go' has Tymon on 'violin' and I use the '' because it's violin Jim, but not as we know it. Has anyone ever had the audacity to write a song starting with someone asking for mushy peas? Who would? The answer to both of these questions, along with the other in the previous paragraph is obviously "Yes! Joe Strummer!"My advice? Buy all three Mescaleros albums, The Future Is Unwritten and Walker soundtracks, but don't get ripped off with Earthquake Weather, ridiculous prices for a patchy piece of plastic. (I couldn't possibly say that I could burn a copy, could I?)Go to If Music Could Talk and you'll find everything you could ever need or want by Joe, from 101'ers to the Mescs, with Clash, Latino Rockabilly War, Pogues and others hrown in. Check the 2cd 'Generations'it has the fat from the lean years.

About 11 years too late but just watched this. I bought The Mescalaroes album when it came out and it's a lasting testament. He was 2 months older than me when he died.

The Future Is Unwritten I mean.
