Music reviews of The Last Post
Music Review: The Old Clash Fan Fight Album
Rating: 4 Stars
Billy Bragg, under the pseudonym "Johnny Clash," paid homage with the "Old Clash Fan Fight Song." Former Clash & Big Audio Dynamite member Mick Jones has given the Old Clash Fans cause to stand and rejoice. Carbon/Silicon, a two guitars-bass-drums affair like his vanguard punk band, reunites Jones with former Generation X guitarist Tony James (the pair were in the seminal mid-'70s band the London SS). CSi began issuing downloadable music as early as 2004, but "The Last Post" is the first physical CD release.
Like any great songwriting team - Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards - Jones/Strummer had a unique sound, which doesn't sound anything like the James/Jones partnership, and Jones himself has an individual style, where one could easily hear Big Audio Dynamite performing some of the tunes on "Last Post." But CSi approach this as a straight-up rock 'n' roll record, abetted by mix engineer Bill Price (whom Clash fans will know as one of the band's principal engineers from London Calling onward, and the producer of the Cost Of Living EP).
The album's opener, "The News," may be a touch too "shiny happy" punk with its eagerly optimistic lyrics and production that sounds like something out of the BAD oeuvre, yet it is nonetheless infectious (and, in truth, is no more gleeful than Joe Strummer's cover of "Silver & Gold").
At track 3, CSi get raw: never one to be bashful of revisiting earlier works (witness liberal use of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" in BAD's "The Globe"), Jones retools the riff from The Clash b-side "1977" for "The Whole Truth," while "Caesars Palace" harkens to some of the better rock moments on Sandinista!
Not an album for everyone, but for Anglophiles of a certain age who know there's more truth than humor in the phrase "Old Guys Rule" (see also The Solarflares), this album will not disappoint.
Key tracks are "The News," "The Whole Truth," "Caesars Palace," "Really The Blues" (the kind of song The Stones wish they could write of late) and "Why Do Men Fight?"
