For the Leeds United footballer see: Mick Jones (footballer)Mick Jones (born June 26, 1955) was in the music group The Clash and played guitar and sang, but was not generally the lead singer, who was Joe Strummer.
Jones generally wrote the tunes, Strummer the lyrics, and Jones was indisputably the better musician. He was briefly in the band General Public. He later formed the bands Big Audio Dynamite and Big Audio Dynamite II, in which he was the lead singer. After the dissolution of Big Audio Dynamite II, he formed another band, Carbon/Silicon. The band is currently touring the United Kingdom in a number of benefit concerts, but has yet to release an album of recordings or even enter a studio for the purpose of recording an album.
He has become an occasional producer, and in late 2002/early 2003 was at the controls for the debut of London band The Libertines (their first album being Up The Bracket), whose Clash influence (as well as that of other quintessentially English bands like the Kinks) was clear. The CD was critically well-received, and Jones appeared to enjoy the success of his proteges, and stayed on to produce their second album, eponymously named The LibertinesThe Libertines is the title of the second album by the band of the same name. As well as the songs below, there is a hidden track, called "France", which starts at 3:28 on track 14. Track Listing # "Can't Stand Me Now" 3:23 # "Last Post On the Bugle 2:32.
