Stumbled across this one a couple of years ago, in my ongoing search for anything and everything related to The Clash. It's a compendium of Clash tunes reworked by several bands in the rockabilly/psychobilly style. Here's the lineup of songs and artists:
- Guns of Brixton - The Honeydippers
- Career Opportunities - Farrell Bros.
- Capitol Radio - The Hyperjax
- Jail Guitar Doors - The Caravans
- Train In Vain - The Sabrejets
- Should I Stay Or Should I Go? - Long Tall Texans
- I'm So Bored With The U.S.A. - XX Cortez
- Jimmy Jazz - Frantic Flintstones
- What's My Name? - The Charles Napiers
- Bank Robber - The Pistoleers
- Brand New Cadillac - The Accelerators
- Janie Jones - Farrell Bros.
- Know Your Rights - The Caravans
- Guns Of Brixton - Rancho Deluxe
Some tunes here work better than others... but all in all, this is a great group of songs providing an interesting, different take on some familiar music from Strummer, Jones & Co., in a style with which the original band was not unfamiliar with.
No long-winded story from me regarding this one... Posting this for no reason whatsoever, other than I like it, and thought that some of you might like it as well. Here's the compilation This Is Rockabilly Clash, released on Raucous Records in the UK on July 11th, 2003. Enjoy, and let me know what you think about it as well.
