Rain (Joe Jackson)

Joe Jackson's Rain hit stores 29 January 2008. As this album returns him to some of his more vintage styles of the late 1970s and 1980s, I was excited for it and had to pick it up. It's a good album. I wouldn't say it's revolutionary in Jackson's catalogue, but it's definitely very enjoyable and worth a listen. If there were justice in the music industry, "Invisible Man" would be a huge hit single, but alas. Other standouts include "Citizen Sane," "Solo (So Low)," and "Good Bad Boy."

The CD comes packaged with a DVD of some live performances and behind-the-scenes footage, but I've not gotten a chance to watch that yet.

Tracks:
1. Invisible Man
2. Too Tough
3. Citizen Sane
4. Wasted Time
5. The Uptown Train
6. King Pleasure Time
7. Solo (So Low)
8. Rush Across the Road
9. Good Bad Boy
10. A Place in the Rain
