I remember hearing Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" on the radio, thought it was good and bought the 8-track of Look Sharp. I loved the album. It was so much more than the quirky Anti-Pop of "Is She Realy Going Out With Him?". For me as a teenage musician wanting to write songs Look Sharp & I'm The Man were eye opening. I would put them as just as important to budding 1980s song writers as Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True or Patti Smith's Horses. Personally for me it sent me down a more raw approach to my lyrics and music. It helped when I started turning to writing Heavy Metal songs. I used the influences of what Patti Smith, Joe Jackson, Wendy O. Williams, Motörhead and The MC5 had taught me. It worked pretty good for me and a lot better for some others...Hope this energetic show helps you get over the hump this week....

Elvis Costello's received more attention, but Joe Jackson's foray through punkish new wave, latin, classic pop and eventually Gershwin-styled cabaret and movie scores was pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, that's one of the things that made Joe Jackson so great, his constant development as an artist. While this is what us loyal fans love about him it has kept him more of an underground cult figure instead of being more widely known like Costello. Having said that I have to add that Joe Jackson has stated he prefers it that way less pressure to keep a static musical output.
