    With 2 CDs and 2 Hours or so of music, this is a fabulous Joe Strummer collection. Comprehensive post Clash retrospective but maintains high quality levels throughout. Strummer covered an incredibly wide range of music styles throughout his career and the best of this work is showcased here. This is a must for fans of The Clash.

    Sample and/or revisit the blitzkrieg roots rock of his first band, the 101'ers; the world music fusion of his final band, the Mescaleros; the Johnny Cash duet of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," one of Strummer's final recordings; and some of the blues and country pastiches pseudonymously written for Alex Cox's Sid and Nancy soundtrack. Most interesting is the unreleased track "London Is Burning," a Mescaleros attempt at chronicling a UK--through pronounced Clashness--that eerily resembles 2018 America.

    On its own merits, 001 disrupts the notion that Strummer lost his way after The Clash, without wholly overturning it, but there's nothing remotely grubby here. [Oct 2018, p.97]

    001 is a carefully thought out compendium of the work of a fascinating artist who defied being shoehorned into one genre. I defy anyone to like every note of music over these 32 tracks, but there's plenty to enjoy. It's a respectful tribute to a much-missed musician who left us way too early.
