Studio debut album by Joe Strummer (former lead vocalist and songwriter of The Clash) is an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to an Alex Cox film. The movie is an American-Mexican western featuring Ed Harris and Peter Boyle, and with Strummer in a minor part. The album is instrumental and suited for the film, and it's difficult to hear the Strummer who co-wrote all songs in The Clash, as the majority of the compositions have a heavy Mexican influence with horns, congas, bongos, timbales, marimbas, snare drums, violins. I mostly see this as a collector's item just because of Joe.
