White Riot : A Tribute To The Clash ... Vol.1 [Uncut Magazine]

Usually when I get a free cd with a magazine I have a listen or two at the most then it is put in a box in the attic along with the rest of them. Not this one though, or these two to be precise. The December 2003 issue of Uncut magazine came with 2 different compilations on the cover. Both were tributes to one of the greatest rock bands ever, The Clash. Nearly 30 different artists contributed their own takes on Clash songs showing just how far and wide the band's music has reached. From Edwyn Collins to Asian Dub Foundation and Jesse Malin to Joy Zipper there is bound to be something to suit everyone on here.

It was great to see Edwyn Collins looking so well on tonight's Reporting Scotland news bulletin. After suffering 2 strokes in 2005 the former Orange Juice vocalist is looking upbeat on his long road to recovery. The report was showing that Collins had taken an old hobby back up and had started painting wildlife again although he is having to start from scratch as he now has to use his left hand as his stronger right hand was damaged by the strokes. I sincerely hope that he continues to keep getting better. Best wishes Edwyn.
Here's 2 tracks dedicated to Edwyn and a third track from his former band Orange Juice. As usual, if you enjoy these tracks please buy the originals especially the Orange Juice stuff. Edwyn deserves it.
