Editing Joe Strummer (section)

==Legacy==
At the time of his death, Strummer was working on another Mescaleros album, which was released posthumously in October 2003 under the title ''[[Streetcore]]''. The album features a tribute to [[Johnny Cash]], "Long Shadow", which was written for Cash to sing and recorded in [[Rick Rubin]]'s garage, as well as a remembrance of the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 ("Ramshackle Day Parade"), and a cover of [[Bob Marley]]'s "[[Redemption Song]]", which Strummer had also recorded as a duet with Cash. The Cash/Strummer duet version appears on the 2003 [[box set]] ''[[Unearthed (Johnny Cash album)|Unearthed]]''. Strummer and the Mescaleros were scheduled to open for [[Pearl Jam]] on the 2003 [[Riot Act Tour]].

While he tilts his bullet head at acute angles, his agonising face screwed into an open wound, he wields his Telecaster like a chain saw. His magnetism is totally original – more like an Olympic strong man imploding all his energy into a final record-breaking lift than anything seen on a rock'n'roll stage before. <br />Off-stage, he's the Clash member with the lowest profile.

In conjunction with the Strummer estate, [[Fender (company)|Fender]] released the Joe Strummer Tribute Telecaster in 2007, combining elements of Strummer's main guitars, namely an attempt at the "road worn" finish of his 1966 Telecaster, which he used until his death. The neck profile was an exact duplicate of Strummer's '66 Telecaster, while the guitar's finish was an approximation of the wear. The first 1,500 guitars came with a [[Shepard Fairey]] designed "Customisation kit" with stickers and stencils, which resembled some of the designs Strummer used on his guitars.<ref name="fender-js">{{cite web

In 2016, actor [[Jonathan Rhys Meyers]] portrayed Strummer in the film ''[[London Town (2016 film)|London Town]]'' which tells the story of a Clash-obsessed teenager who crosses paths with Joe Strummer by happenstance in 1979 and finds his life changing as a result.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/see-joe-strummer-portrayed-in-london-town-trailer-w439500|title=See Jonathan Rhys Meyers Play Joe Strummer in 'London Town' Trailer|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=14 September 2016|date=14 September 2016|archive-date=16 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916103136/http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/see-joe-strummer-portrayed-in-london-town-trailer-w439500|url-status=dead}}</ref> The film was met with mostly negative reviews.

It was discovered following Strummer's death that he was an archivist of his own work, having barns full of writings and tapes. Over 20,000 items were stored in the Joe Strummer archive and on 28 September 2018, a 32-song compilation album titled ''[[Joe Strummer 001]]'' was released. The album, which was overseen by Strummer's widow, Lucinda, and producer Robert Gordon McHarg III, features 32 songs, 12 of which had never been released. The set spans Strummer's career from the 101ers to the Mescaleros and features some unheard demos from the Clash following the departure of Mick Jones, along with an unreleased song recorded by Jones and Strummer in 1986. The set also features two of Strummer's final recordings.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/joe-strummer-rare-unreleased-album-2347300|title=Joe Strummer's rare and unreleased songs to be released on new album|date=29 June 2018|magazine=NME|access-date=21 August 2018|archive-date=22 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180822014638/https://www.nme.com/news/music/joe-strummer-rare-unreleased-album-2347300|url-status=live}}</ref>
