Joe Jackson - Rain
Although he’s long been eclipsed by Elvis Costello, England’s other “angry young man of the new wave era,” Jackson remains a compelling composer. Jackson’s first album in five years has much to recommend, including “The Uptown Train,” a funky, Herbie Hancock-style joint guaranteed to get fingers popping and butts shaking, and “Rush Across the Road,” which boasts a sweet, infectious melody. But the highlight is “King Pleasure Time,” in which Jackson is once again looking—and sounding—sharp.
