John Mellor Goes Over the Border with Jimmy Cliff

 

After gifting Joe Strummer's London Calling BBC radio shows, I couldn't stop listening to more of Joe's own music. I revisited The Clash, The Mescaleros, The 101'ers, & everything else. I decided heading into the new year I would post some that I though you all might like to hear.

First is Joe giving us that good old Eathquake Weather, then a few bootleg releases: When Pigs Fly (a previously unreleased soundtrack LP); Outtakes & Rarities; & the fantastic Collaborations.

Spend some time with Joe, it will be well worth the while & I'll hit you all again next year.
