Joe Strummer Friday

Joe Strummer was one of the greatest voices and attitudes in rock and roll's history. Punk, blues, ska, reggae, rock and soul, Joe loved and played it all—and better than just about everyone. Here's one pre- and one post-Clash track along with two Clash covers, courtesy of Josh Rouse and Babyshambles. (Fun fact: Mick Jones of the Clash produced two records for Babyshambles' lead singer Pete Doherty's previous band, the Libertines).

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - "Tony Adams" (from Rock Art and The X-Ray Style)

Babyshambles - "Janie Jones" (Clash cover)

101ers - "Keys To Your Heart" (from Elgin Avenue Breakdown)

Josh Rouse - "Straight To Hell" (Clash cover)
