Editorial Review: Album Description: 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. Amazon.com's Best of 2001: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Global A Go-GoJoe Strummer & The Mescoleros-Global A Go-Go ***½ Being completely honest I must say that Global A Go-Go is the weakest of the three Mescolero albums. Not quite as solid as the debut, Rock Art & The X-Ray Style and not as rocking as Streetcore, really this is just a mixed bag with a few really great songs, and then the rest are just average songs. This was the second album for the band but this is also somewhat of a different line up, which I don't think meshed totally well, and that is the problem with the album. If Joe Strummer knows how to do one thing it is have a great opening song. All The Clash albums, all his solo albums, and all of his albums with The Mescoleros feature a killer opening song, ...

The mescaleros make me wish I was still doing drugs...uh, you really don't have to with this troupe. A batch of very very good musicians, always makes you happy, eh? cya Rating: - Joe Strummer still has it! If you like the Clash, or BAD, or even Strummers solo career, this cd will blow you away.
