WOXY.com is happy to bring you
Joe Strummer's London Calling, presented in its entirety, Sunday from 10a-6p. You'll hear all 14 of Joe's original half-hour BBC programs, hosted by
Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers).
The legendary and charismatic leader of The Clash,
Joe Strummer, loved to listen to music on the radio, and had dreamed to one day spin records for the BBC World Service, where he heard the latest UK hits over the shortwave band as a teenager in Africa.
He finally got his wish in 1998, when the World Service premiered
Joe Strummer's London Calling, a series of programs featuring one man and his eclectic record collection. His playlists spanned the globe and featured many of the rock, reggae and folk artists that inspired
The Clash, including Woody Guthrie, Bo Diddley, Big Youth, and even a few old Clash nuggets. This will be the final airing of the series, so if you missed it over the last couple of weeks, you'll want to make sure you catch it Sunday starting at 10a on WOXY.com!
