The Right Profile

The Right Profile by the Clash

If I have one theory about music, and pop/rock music specifically, it's that if you have horns in the song, it will be a good song. Often times horns make the song. And this effort from the Clash is no different. The horns play that infectious hook that seems to hold this song together. As for a story... there's a lot to be said about the Clash, but I guess I'll keep it short this time: It's pretty cool that Lily Allen is the niece of Joe Strummer.

These "listens" are such tantalizing teasers...

The Clash. Yes oh yes.
and I agree about songs with horns. Steel drums are like that too.
