Joe Strummer has long been one of the most important musicians in my life. His work with the Clash is so undeniably brilliant and then afterwards with the Mescelaros... He never lost his touch. A truly gifted lyricist, too.
One of my favorite songs, out of all of them, is his cover of Redemption Day. I've read that it was the last track he ever recorded. If that truly is the case, I can't think of anything more fitting.
