One can only imagine the all-pervading sense of sadness, the ghosts and memories that haunted the control room. Yet the Mescaleros' Scott Shields and Martin Slattery have done a fine job, keeping their own egos at bay, allowing the great man to take centre-stage and reveal that he had rediscovered some form. \"Get Down Moses\" is a deep, dubby Clash special, with Strummer testifying to his undying love of youth and the outcast and a big keyboard swirling overhead. \"Long Shadow\" is a hobo folk song, \"Ramshackle Day Parade\" crosses Bob Dylan and the Beatles and \"Arms Aloft\" is a pumped-up, slightly psychedelic rocker.\nBest, though, are the moments when Strummer goes quiet. Bob Marley's \"Redemption Song\", recorded with Rick Rubin and given a provocative Irish flavour, ideally suits the man's heartfelt vocals and freedom-fighting reputation. \"Silver and Gold\", another cover, wherein Strummer considers the positive actions he must take before age overcomes him, is made cruelly poignant by circumstances. Yet this is not a sad album; rather, it's happy proof that musicians can still ride the freight train, not simply the gravy-train, that they can still mean something. It's an important lesson to relearn, and there was never a finer teacher. --Dominic Wills\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 004577804542\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0004577804542\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 045778045426\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45971252215842,"sku":"OA-WU4K-YSP3","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/71IftgohwnL.jpg?v=1783705213","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/joe-strummer-the-mescaleros-streetcore-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
