Editorial Review:
Album Description:
The soundtrack to 'The Future Is Unwritten,' a documentary chronicling the life and times of Joe Strummer, frontman for the seminal UK band The Clash. The film premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for a Grand Jury Award.
Amazon.com:
This 25-song soundtrack to Julian Temple's biopic of the late Joe Strummer is not as much a retrospective of the punk-rock kingpin as an 80-minute radio show with the ex-Clash leader spinning the dials on influential favorites, such as Tim Hardin's 'Black Sheep Boy,' Eddie Cochran's 1958 rocker 'Nervous Breakdown,' and Nina Simone's 1967 version of the Bee Gees' 'To Love Somebody.' Snippets of interviews and Strummer testimonials break up dead air between tracks, which include previously unreleased demos of Clash nuggets like 'White Riot' and 'I'm So Bored with the USA,' as well as Strummer's toned-down solo work with the Mescaleros. But the real treasures lie in the rarely-heard-before: The Clash performing Strummer's '(In The) Pouring Rain' live in 1984, which never made an album; 1988's 'Trash City' recorded with Strummer's Los Angeles combo the Latino Rockabilly War; and the 1975 UK-only single 'Keys to Your Heart' from his pre-Clash band the 101ers. The latter's ska-and-punk tendencies, obvious influences on English bands like the Pretenders and the Beat, indicate an early direction for the Clash and the sway its leader would hold over the future of music. --Scott Holter

Rating:  - I don't know you
...but if I did, I doubt I'd respect you if you're reading this. Honestly. This is another product that you probably already know is good or you wouldn't be on this page. I ordered this CD because I liked the title song from "John From Cincinnati" (which is included). Since I got exactly what I wanted plus other songs from the same artist, I'm really damn happy.
Bottom line: If you're here, you're probably a fan, or someone recommended to you. If so, then BUY, you're here and it's likely that with your money the artist will have the time to produce more stuff like this that I, at least, like.

PS: I'd say "thanks for your time", but I really hope you pushed 'add to cart' and didn't scroll down to read my review.

Rating: - great mix of some music not heard much plus some old favorites from the clash
I like this, and the film I saw on IFC, i brought the cd after watching the movie,, there is quite a mix, some old stuff you can tell was not done in a studio but it has a nice feel not too polished like old stuff a bit scratchy but it adds to it
Rating:  - Crappy fluctuating sound, bad songs. only 2 worthy of record
Bad fluctuating sound levels from song to song. There is a cool alternative version of rock the casbah that is definetly worth checking out...you can just buy the single song through itunes or somewhere. The rest of the album pretty much sucks.
Rating: - STRUMMER UND DRANG
When the ancient Greeks were creating their myths, Gods and heroes, they had men like Joe Strummer in mind. Epic entities possessed of such intense power and influence that their cult alone could sway the course of mortal men. Dionysus thought flutes could cease all worry. Strummer's guitar thought you weren't worried enough. The most appealing thing to me about Greek mythology is that their Gods were flawed and their heroes doomed. Give me a God with a God-complex and I'm a believer. A tale of an effed-up fallen hero? We will tell that story till the end of days.
I'm glad Joe didn't go out like Sid or Kurt, but his passing was reported with a barely audible whimper. He deserved better. How many statues of Apollo are there? Joe never caused a plague. His aim was true. Release the doves!
There's a rumor going 'round that ..Julien Temple has made a documentary about Strummer called "The Future Is Unwritten". For reasons that defy understanding, it isn't being screened in the U.S. until November (maybe). Meanwhile, it's been playing in Europe for months. Just to rub a cake of salt into the wound of the frothy mouthed faithful, the soundtrack to said film HAS been made available in the states of disgrace.
Well...that'll do. It's easily the most riveting bunch 'o' songs I've heard all year. Back in the early eighties Strummer orchestrated a pirate-radio broadcast from a London rooftop, RADIO CLASH. It was probably pretty great but I wouldn't know because I never ... Read More
Rating: - A well done tribute
I think this is a great album! It is, of course, a soundtrack strictly speaking but it sounds more like a mix CD from a very cool friend with broad musical tastes. Yet it does all tie together because of who it's about. There are few compillations that cover so much territory and yet flow so evenly. I can't wait to see the film!
