Music reviews of The Future Is Unwritten
Music Review: I don't know you
Rating: 5 Stars
...but if I did, I doubt I'd respect you if you're reading this. Honestly. This is another product that you probably already know is good or you wouldn't be on this page. I ordered this CD because I liked the title song from "John From Cincinnati" (which is included). Since I got exactly what I wanted plus other songs from the same artist, I'm really damn happy.
Bottom line: If you're here, you're probably a fan, or someone recommended to you. If so, then BUY, you're here and it's likely that with your money the artist will have the time to produce more stuff like this that I, at least, like.

PS: I'd say "thanks for your time", but I really hope you pushed 'add to cart' and didn't scroll down to read my review.

Description of The Future Is Unwritten
The soundtrack to "The Future Is Unwritten," a documentary chronicling the life and times of Joe Strummer, frontman for the seminal UK band The Clash. The film premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for a Grand Jury Award.This 25-song soundtrack to Julian Temple's biopic of the late Joe Strummer is not as much a retrospective of the punk-rock kingpin as an 80-minute radio show with the ex-Clash leader spinning the dials on influential favorites, such as Tim Hardin's "Black Sheep Boy," Eddie Cochran's 1958 rocker "Nervous Breakdown," and Nina Simone's 1967 version of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody." Snippets of interviews and Strummer testimonials break up dead air between tracks, which include previously unreleased demos of Clash nuggets like "White Riot" and "I'm So Bored with the USA," as well as Strummer's toned-down solo work with the Mescaleros. But the real treasures lie in the rarely-heard-before: The Clash performing Strummer's "(In The) Pouring Rain" live in 1984, which never made an album; 1988's "Trash City" recorded with Strummer's Los Angeles combo the Latino Rockabilly War; and the 1975 UK-only single "Keys to Your Heart" from his pre-Clash band the 101ers. The latter's ska-and-punk tendencies, obvious influences on English bands like the Pretenders and the Beat, indicate an early direction for the Clash and the sway its leader would hold over the future of music. --Scott Holter
