This cover appears on the first of two Clash tribute CDs that came with Uncut magazine in late 2003. Here we have a competent though not very exciting cover of the London Calling deep cut. Ms. Gilmore re-imagines the song in a sort of alt-country format, complete with a little harmonica in the beginning. While her rendition is perfectly fine, it lacks the emotional depth of the original- the layers of Mick Jones's tortured vocals are greatly missed, as is the rousing outro.
