This Saturday is the anniversary of the birth of the late Joe Strummer. We talk all the time about The Clash — how for a few years they were "the only band that mattered" and how much of an impact they had on subsequent generations of rockers. After their breakup, Joe Strummer took a journey far from the rock and roll fame — he worked on soundtracks, solo projects, put together new bands, toured modestly, and organized campfire singalongs at festivals like Glastonbury — little "Strummer-villes." With a new solo compilation recently released, this week on Teenage Kicks, we'll explore Joe Strummer , solo.
