Music reviews of Global a Go-Go
Music Review: THIS AND STREETCORE
Rating: 5 Stars
Truth is all you need is "Global a Go-Go" and "Streetcore" if you want to hear the matured, world-beat of the Mescaleros at the ir best. The earlier efforts are not as necessary to your collection.
Description of Global a Go-Go
Joe Strummer continues to be the only Clash principal member who remains active. Talking the world and folk influences of Rock Art and the X-Ray Style a step further, Global A Go-Go is a deep, mature piece of work by a reinvigorated artist who has more in common with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison than the Sex Pistols. 11 tracks. 2001 Hellcat/Epitaph Records release.Global a Go-Go, Joe Strummer's second album with the Mescaleros following 1999's Rock Art and the X-Ray Style, mines the same concerns that have always inspired his music. "Johnny Appleseed" and "Cool 'n' Out" center on his brash eruptive guitar but hark back to his pre-punk folk busking roots, with lyrics anchored by a strong sense of indignation and social commitment. Strummer may pride himself as an original punk warlord, but he realizes punk can only thrive by rejoicing in Britain's ever-vibrant multicultural melting pot as he does on "Bhindi Bagee" and the Arabic-inflected refugee requiem "Shaktar Donetsk." His longstanding fascination with dub reggae fuels "At the Border, Guy", while the Marconi-saluting title track celebrates the power of radio to present new worlds and unite communities. On "Mondo Bongo" he dispenses with his trademark bark for a lovely ballad laced with pre-Clash accomplice Tymon Dogg's lonesome violin. This is real anger with a big warm heart; maturity suits Strummer just fine. --Gavin Martin
