new & upcoming releases: Joe Jackson's "Night & Day II"
posted by david on Tue 10 Oct 2000 @ 08:02 PM
I've got a bundle of Joe Jackson albums but I must confess, I'm not sure why. Sometimes he can be a very sharp pop songwriter (eg. "Real Men") but he's always seemed a touch too serious and calculated for me. His more recent albums have consisted of classical-type pieces, with the song cycle of "Heaven & Hell" and the obviously titled "Symphony No. 1". His new album will be released on October 24 and is titled "Night & Day II", a sequel to his 1982 album. It features a couple of guest vocalists, most notably Marianne Faithfull. Whether this is a return to classy pop or not remains to be seen. Billboard has an article with info and the dates for the accompanying tour. If nothing else, I love the inside-a-New-York-cab cover photo. Review: The War Against Silence
Comments Can anyone tell me where Joe went to school. Did he live in Gosport or Paulsgrove? Does he have any siblins? Love u all Kip Posted by: Kip on April 21, 2005 9:04 PM Post a comment Name: Email Address: URL: Comments: Remember info?
