Redemption Song
Based on exclusive access to Joe Strummer’s friends, relatives, and fellow musicians, this biography penetrates the soul of a rock and roll icon. The Clash was—and still is—one of the most important groups of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Indebted to rockabilly, reggae, Memphis soul, cowboy justice, and ‘60s protest, the overtly political band railed against war, racism, and a dead-end economy, and in the process imparted a conscience to punk. Joe Strummer was the Clash’s front man, a rock-and-roll hero seen by many as the personification of outlaw integrity and street cool. The political heart of the Clash, Strummer synthesized gritty toughness and poetic sensitivity in a manner...
