Joe Strummer's London Calling (All Shows)



After doing a whole lot of searching through the internet I have found all (or at least a good majority of) the London Calling shows that Joe Strummer did for the BBC starting in the late 1990's. These shows contain just about every music genre imaginable from rock to rumba, cumbia, reggae, and everything in between. Joe had an immense record collection that he built up as he traveled around the world and he did an excellent job of sharing it on his show. Where else could you find a radio show that would play Nancy Sinatra, Wu Tang Clan, and Jules Allen (one of the oldest recorded country western artists out there) all one after the other?
If you are reading this I highly recommend you download these shows as there honestly really is something for every music taste here and I can guarantee you will find something you like in these shows you just might not know it yet.

This first hour of an eight-part series begins with a 30-minute feature about Joe Strummer live and his diverse interests, followed by the first of his music shows originally produced and distributed by BBC World Service on Aug 31, 1998.
