Title: The evolution of a talent...
Product review: While no "Best Of" collection can capture all facets of an artist, this one comes pretty darn close. In listening to "Steppin' Out" you get to see the evolution of Joe Jackson from preening, pouting proto-punk to accomplished singer songwriter. It's kinda like watching Joey Ramone somehow morph into Burt Bacharach, no insults intended. The only part of his career given short shrift on this album is the "Jumpin' Jive" period. That tour was big and brash, I would've liked to haard more than just one tune from it but, that was NOT my choice to make. All in all I can't complain about this collection and recommend it highly for anyone seeking a primer into the musical mind of Joe Jackson.Worf
