Joe Strummer, gravel-voiced lead singer for the Clash, labeled ''the only band that matters'' by music critics during England's 1977 punk-rock revolution, comes to life as never before in Joe Strummers: The Future Is. Joe Strummer - Discography (1987-2007) Genre: Punk-rock/Raggae Posts about joe strummer written by goodfellaspunx. Joe Strummer – Walker. He booked three months at Baby O Recorders, where he had made the Permanent Record soundtrack. The musicians were a version of the Latino Rockabilly War: Zander Schloss on lead guitar and vocals, Lonnie Marshall—a new recruit—on bass and vocals and Willie Mc. Neil on drums. It must have been a hard decision for Joe to finally stop putting off the inevitable next step, but it was also a logical one; things had been successfully building ever since the Walker album; there had been Permanent Record, the Pogues tour, the Lone Star Rockabilly War tour, and the small detour into acting in Mystery Train. While making Walker, followed by the spurt of Permanent Record songs, Joe had rediscovered his voice. He had learned how to write songs on his own, without the musical input of Mick Jones. Contrary to what he had vowed in 1. Joe Strummer’s first solo album would not be called Throwdown or be produced by Mick Jones. Its name was Earthquake Weather, with Joe himself at the production helm, though the title, which carried its own in- built sense of brooding, dangerous power, was still to come to him. Working in Hollywood on his own record was a move to virgin territory for Joe. The Clash had never recorded in L. A.; there were no memories, good or bad. There was a freshness in the step of his broken boot when he was in the city, touched like everyone by its seductive, warm whispers of fecund possibilities. Joe and his family rented a small house off Fairfax in the Russian section of West Hollywood. He had decided—for the meantime, at least—he was going to make his home in Los Angeles. And there’s always something a bit sad about standing in an English pub on Sunset Strip where everything has been carved deliberately trying to look like a boozer.”) While recording, Joe confided to Mark “Stebs” Stebbeds, the engineer, that he was thinking of moving permanently to New Orleans. I’d bought a copy of Q magazine which had a feature, . I DO ALWAYS SPEAK IN CAPITAL LETTERS.’” The Clash and its spin- offs were temporarily out of fashion. BAD’s record sales were dwindling, though they would pick up in the next decade. Yet this was the climate in which Joe would release his first solo album. To try to tune him in to contemporary sounds, Gerry Harrington had a tactic: “Every time I found a great new record, I’d want Joe to hear it so he could see he could be better himself. Bob Dylan doesn’t say, “I walked through a door.” He says, “There was smoke in the air.” He doesn’t say the obvious. This guy’s hitting it on the head. It’s just not interesting.’ I’d never thought about it that way. Joe always cut right down to the essence. Except when he didn’t. I also wanted him to hear Lou Reed’s New York album. But he didn’t want to be daunted while recording by a great work that he was going to have to equal. Is it really great?’ . He’s found a way to write older, more mature rock music and get a lot of people to listen to it. You should check it out.’ . Graceland was an interesting choice, for here Joe was taking a politically incorrect line. Simon had gone out on a limb, using South African musicians when there was a ban on working with artists from the apartheid- riven nation. But Joe felt that through Paul Simon’s record people in the Midwest became acquainted with the true art of South Africa, gaining information about the iniquities of apartheid. Although he was credited as the producer of the record, the songs were arranged—often in Joe’s absence—by Zander Schloss. Some of the songs were great in the way they came out, but I think other ones took a wrong direction and perhaps could have had a little more Joe Strummer influence. We wouldn’t see him for hours at a time, and he didn’t really know what was on the record until it was time to mix it.” Joe’s customary disappearing acts often concerned his need for input for his lyrics. I can’t tell you how the lyrics he wrote related to what he saw out there on the street, but somehow it would obviously stir up his juices. Joe kept a mild state of mellowness going on, smoking English joints, which weren’t heavily laced with pot. He had two kinds of pot: he called them . Sometimes he would get some brandy. He was very much into the whole Latino thing, so he would get Mexican brandy, horrible stuff, but he would drink it because the owner of the studio was Mexican and he figured it was the least he could do.” A few times Joe slept in the studio, locked into the building, until it was opened up again the next morning. Life at Baby O was not dissimilar to that at 1. Walterton Road. People would bring him replacement boots: . You’d see coagulated soap in his hair all the time. But he wasn’t neglecting his brain: he was always a great reader, and he had a history of the New York Yankees and then started talking knowledgeably about Joe Di. Maggio. He was like a little book warehouse.” “Let’s rock again!” Joe’s opening words that almost fade you into Earthquake Weather do not hint at the epic struggle with himself that Joe had had to make the record. The volume of that declamation is at a lower level than “Gangsterville,” which bursts open immediately after it, the first song. Are those three words muted and uncertain, as has been suggested? Or do they emerge like an Apache war cry ringing down from atop an Arizonan butte? I never had any problem with the way Joe’s voice is allegedly hidden away in the mix on this record—after a time, and with the aid of the lyric sheet in the record, all the words were perfectly clear to me. You’ve simply to listen to Joe’s vocals on Earthquake Weather via a slight adjustment in your hearing and thinking, like you would the first time you hear how the words and music are layered around each other on Studio One records. The way Joe Strummer’s voice is mixed down on Earthquake Weather is often taken as proof of his inner doubt about the project, and it could be diagnosed that way. Yet there is a simpler explanation: “Joe was not in good voice when we recorded this record,” recalled Mark Stebbeds. His voice had largely been sitting idle for several years, so it wasn’t that powerful.” ..* * *In the studio Joe was driven by a blinkered ruthlessness. One night Willie Mc. Neil, the drummer, made a classic error: when at four in the morning Joe asked him for one more take, he protested he was too tired and would do it the next day. Ginger Baker, stalwart former member of supergroup Cream and recently playing with John Lydon, was in Los Angeles, up for a gig. Joe had concerns that, as Ginger was an even more seasoned professional than he was, there were possibilities for strife—and he’d had enough of that in groups. But there was an even more unlikely candidate: a former drummer with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who had suffered a nervous breakdown after the group’s guitar player, his best friend, had OD’d on heroin that summer. More than anything, Joe was taken by his name: “Mr. Jack Irons was rehearsing on his own, playing all the grooves by himself. I thought that was impressive: I’d never seen a drummer practicing by himself. What a name for a drummer. Jack- Irons- Jack- Irons.’” “I got a phone call in the hospital from Dick Rude, and he says, . He gets up and says, . Whenever you can get out.’” “Jewellers and Bums” moves along to its own internal rhythms, a very Clash driving rock song, a Death- or- Glory- like insistence, with added melody. The Earthquake Weather sessions took more than three months, with a brief break for Christmas. How was Joe functioning in the studio? He seemed to see his role more in the tradition of a movie producer than a music producer. Josh Cheuse believed it was harder without Mick. When everyone’s deferring to him, it’s a very different situation.” As the record neared completion, an official delegation, headed by Muff Winwood, arrived from the record company in London (CBS had become part of the Japanese giant Sony). Joe ran off in response. When Gerry arrived at his place, not far from Baby O, he found a sheet of yellow legal paper nailed to the door. I’ll be back on: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Sorry if I’ve inconvenienced you. Joe.” Around the word “Thursday” Joe had drawn a circle. That’s why you’ve got Sandinista! Joe could not even edit himself.” “He did run away,” said Muff Winwood. I understood it.” But Tricia Ronane, by now living with Paul Simonon and having been given charge of the Clash’s business affairs, felt there was a subtext: when Joe had declared to Sony his intention to make Earthquake Weather, Winwood immediately had asked to hear demos of the songs Joe intended to record. So why was he being asked to play demos? It had a profound effect on Joe and dented his confidence.” When Joe did return from the desert, on the Thursday, for his meeting, it seemed he had never heard of the golden rule: when presenting any idea to “suits,” never indicate a single shred of doubt, because if you do, that is all they will pick up on. Joe’s deference and humility were not what was required at that point. I’m not sure that you’ll really like it,” he undersold his work to the record company execs, immediately before pressing Play. They said they wanted to hear more Joe guitar on the record. And went back to London. Muff Winwood was given a copy of the tape. He listened to it; whatever bothered him about the record, he expressed to Mark Stebbeds. Then he received a letter from Joe: “Muff, only you, me and the Stebbeds know this stuff. I’ve been a bit of a hermit of late. Love Joe.” Then Joe listed the twenty quibbles that Muff had with the record, and rebuffed every one of them. In the letter he says to me, . The doctors were experimenting on him: the drum tracks on this album were derived from eight or ten mikes. I can’t help feeling you disrespect me to think I haven’t thought of this.’” Whatever the view from Sony, by the middle of February 1. Earthquake Weather was completed.
