Mick Jones 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.
He has become an occasional producer, and in late 2002/early 2003 was at the controls for the debut of London band
The Libertines[?] whose Clash influence (as well as that of other quentessentially English bands like the Kinks) was clear. The CD was critically well-received, and Jones appeared to enjoy the success of his proteges.
