Title: Back in town
Product review: As a long time Joe Jackson fan, I find this an interesting recording. First, to go back and revisit a concept album for a second time in one career is a unique approach. He said on his website, that this was just another look at 24 hours in the life of new york city, 18 years later. Obviously he has a lot to say about the changes that have taken place over that time frame. I think the use of more vocalists, simply represents his view that the city is a diverse place and he needed different voices to reflect that. To me that one of the strong suits to this recording.I doubt you'll hear this on the radio, there are no standout singles except "stranger than you". And that sounds a little to much like the material for laughter and lust, Which was not his best effort. Still, Joe on a bad day is better than quite a lot of music out there, and I find this an enjoyable album.
