Summary of Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer
?Engrossing.? ?BEN GILL, Mother Jones
?Passionate and detailed.?
?ROBERT CHRISTGAU, The New York Times Book Review
?[An] epic, meticulously researched . . . biography.? ?ZAC CRAIN, Esquire
?The most complete and honest account of Strummer?s professional and personal life.? ?RON WYNN, The Nashville City Paper
?There was a time when The Clash . . . was (quite properly) billed as ?The Only Band That Matters.? [This] biography about lead singer Joe Strummer explains why . . . Salewicz, a longtime Strummer associate and chronicler of the punk scene, quickly settles into his groove and stays there, his words as vivid as the lyrics to ?White Man in Hammersmith Palais? or ?London Calling.? Details abound, providing fresh glimpses into the Strummer persona, along with those that preceded it . . . [A] compelling tale of Strummer?s too-short life.?
?LARRY MCSHANE, Associated Press
?Will likely go down as the definitive bio of Strummer and the Clash.?
?JEFF TAMARKIN, Harp
